Mónica Naranjo has established herself as one of the great divas of Spanish culture. Her voice, presence and image have elevated her to the top of the international music industry, thus allowing Naranjo to succeed in all kinds of markets, without understanding borders or prejudices.
Mónica was clear from a very young age: she wanted to dedicate herself to singing. The artist blood ran through her veins and at 18 years old, with a lot of desire and a lot of fear, the young woman went to Mexico looking to succeed.
It was then that the bicolor-haired artist became a phenomenon. Songs like I will survive, Alone, You only live once, Untie me, Love places or Hear me became hymns that accompanied millions of people over several generations.
30 years later and after 7 studio albums and several tours around the world, Mónica Naranjo continues in the front line as one of the most important artists that our country has produced.
Not everything has been roses in the path of the artist. Loneliness and being away from home were constants in Naranjo’s career, who spent many years traveling around the world and missing key moments in the lives of his closest friends and family.
In an interview, Monica has come to say that although she loves her profession, there have been extremely hard moments, such as when her brother was seriously ill and they forced him to go to work.
We know Monica from a different point than other artists. With her we have the feeling of having had a conversation alone, having had some beers or having some kind of relationship, and that is that Naranjo is not worried about telling you if he has put on 5 kilos, if he has had sex or not or what are his most horrible fears. Each interview he does is a master of naturalness, self-confidence and simplicity that captivates the viewer and surprises the interviewer. She is, above all, a close, humble person who tries to behave as if she is not an international superstar.
Mónica has done it all in her 30-year career, from starring in a show that mainly talks about sex or giving it her all on the stages of drag galas to starring in controversial controversies by showing herself vulnerable in hundreds of interviews. This is where a large part of her success is born, since she is a woman with infinite talent, but with an enormous conscience and her feet on the ground.
Monica has a charisma that many communicators want, but that is something you are born with or you are not born with. Due to her self-confidence and the peculiar way that she has to be, Monica has been a regular on television in our country and has always received great praise from the audience.
Jury in Operación Triunfo and Tu Cara suena me, the first presenter of La isla de las temptaciones, projects for Netflix like Amor Con fianza and many other works have made her a familiar face on the small screen. She has recently participated as a presenter of the Spanish preselection to choose the Eurovision song, the BenidormFest, where she also performed and fell in love with the entire public.
Mónica Naranjo has earned hard work becoming one of the great divas for the queer community in Spain. Although in the United States they have Cher, Lady Gaga or Madonna, the Spanish who belong to the collective found in Mónica an ally who makes them visible, normalizes and most importantly, celebrates them.
He has never minded talking about sex, orientation, or gender identity. She defines herself as ”very fagot” and she has commented on several occasions that she is bisexual and that she is very open-minded. Due to all this, Mónica has been a preacher at the Gay Pride in Madrid and is invited to large LGTBIQ parties as a godmother of ceremonies.
After a life devoted body and soul to music and entertainment, there is still a lot of Monica to see. In 2022 she released a new studio album: Mimétika, exploring new sounds and reconnecting with the creator Monica who revolutionized the music industry a few years ago.
2023 is set to be a great year for the presenter, since she has already secured participation in various television projects and continues to give different concerts around the entire national and even international geography.
