Mariel Colón, the 31-year-old lawyer who once defended the infamous Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, has embarked on a career change that has left many in the music industry stunned. With the rise of regional Mexican music as a global phenomenon, Colón is leveraging her association with the notorious narco-leader to launch a music career of her own.
Colón's decision to trade in her law books for a microphone has raised eyebrows, but the determined artist is not letting the controversy surrounding her past deter her from pursuing her passion. Instead, she is using her experience as a defense lawyer for El Chapo to add a unique edge to her music.
During the highly publicized trial, Colón worked tirelessly to defend Guzmán, who was eventually convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Her dedication to the case earned her a reputation as a fierce and formidable lawyer. However, Colón's newfound love for music has led her to redirect her focus and energy into the entertainment industry.
As regional Mexican music continues to gain international recognition, Colón sees an opportunity to make a name for herself in the industry. She has been working closely with top producers and songwriters to craft a sound that blends traditional Mexican styles with modern and catchy melodies. Her first single, set to be released soon, promises to be a fusion of authentic Mexican rhythms and chart-topping hooks.
Colón's journey from courtroom to recording studio is not without its challenges, however. Many have criticized her decision to capitalize on her association with El Chapo, questioning the ethics of profiting from her involvement in the case. Colón defends her decision, stating that her music is not about sensationalizing her past but rather about sharing her unique story and perspective.
“I've always been drawn to the world of music,” Colón explained in a recent interview. “Growing up in a Mexican-American household, music was an integral part of my life. As I navigated my career as a lawyer, I found myself turning to music as a source of comfort and creative expression. Now, I'm thrilled to share my art with the world and connect with fans on a different level.”
While Colón's music career is still in its infancy, the young artist is confident that her experiences and background will set her apart from others in the industry. With her unique blend of style, substance, and authentic Mexican flair, Mariel Colón is ready to make her mark on the music scene and leave a lasting impression on fans worldwide.
