Norma Monserrat Bustamante Laferte (born 2 May 1983) better known as Mon Laferte, is a Chilean and Mexican musician, singer, composer and painter. Her musical style is diverse, spanning across different genres such as pop, rock, bolero, cumbia, and salsa, showcasing her versatility and creativity.[2] Throughout the 2010s, she gained widespread recognition for her melodramatic style and "captivating stage persona".[3][4]
With over 1.5 million digital records sold in Latin America between albums and singles, she has established herself as the best-selling Chilean artist of the 21st century. Some of her hits include "Tormento", "Amor completo", "Si tú me quisieras", "Tu falta de querer", "Amárrame," and "Mi buen amor." Laferte has won four Latin Grammy Awards (the most for a Chilean artist), two MTV Europe Music Awards and has been nominated twice for the Grammy Awards. Her 2021-22 Latin America tour and first pregnancy were the subjects of a Netflix documentary, MON LAFERTE, te amo (translated to "Mon Laferte, I love you" in English) scheduled to premiere worldwide on August 1, 2024.[5]
