Meet DannyLux & Tornillo:

Mexican-American artist DannyLux was just a high school senior when he landed the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Latin Songwriters Chart after penning “Jugaste y Sufrí,” which resulted in a record deal with Warner Music Latin. His trademark sound of moody guitar ballads — named “sad sierreño” a genre that was growing in popularity at the time– has catapulted the 20-year-old artist to music’s biggest stages like Coachella, SXSW, and Lollapalooza. The sad sierreño singer will now be joining forces with Tornillo for the ultimate clash of traditional genres that the two pioneers helped modernize. Their unique styles and innovative approaches have propelled Cumbia and Mexican Regional music to new heights, pushing them to the forefront of the American music scene.

Combining elements of Latin trap and Cumbia, Mexican native Tornillo rose to stardom in 2020, signing to Santa Fe Klan’s 473 Music label after releasing his first song, “Dime Cuándo Volverás.” Since then, the rapper has dropped standout tracks like “Morena” and “Sentosa” and joined Santa Fe Klan onstage at Coachella for their memorable set this year. Red Bull SoundClash will coincide with Tornillo’s U.S. debut solo tour this Fall, and be the exclusive tour stop for fans in Los Angeles and Chicago to watch the artist live.
