Rising star Estevie (formerly known as Sarah Silva) is ready to introduce the world to hers with the debut EP Cumbialicious Nice Life (Ricky Reed). Reimagining more traditional sounds from cumbia to regional to pop, the gen-z star is breathing fresh life into the genres’ established heritages with her refreshing and vibrant world as she paints embraced tradition with refreshing hues of LA street culture and fashion that raised her.
In a generation of young, Gen-z artists making waves in reinvention, Estevie notably stands out as a confident and feminine force in a largely male presenting genre and scene – which has caught the attention of media like Remezcla who featured her as their Nuevo Noise artist and named her “the Gen-Z Cumbia Pop Star We’ve Been Waiting For.” Other key players have taken notice as well, as she has been featured on Eslabon Armado’s top-charting album Nostalgia, collabed with breakout sierreño artist DannyLux on single “Triste Verano,” and has opened up for the likes of regional standout Ivan Cornejo, viral sensation Eddie Zuko and Mexico beloved indie band Little Jesus.
Now stepping front and center into her own limelight, Estevie is ready to showcase her 7-track compilation that spins like a prismatic plunge into Estevie’s multifaceted world. Colored by the sounds and fashion of Cumbia, Regional, Reggaeton and Pop, she reinvigorates beloved rhythms with youthful gleam and out-of-the box interpolations reassuring with every track that her signature style – whether musically or fashion related – is an exciting sphere of vivid colors, emotional depth and lots of induced dancing.
