Early life and education
Mon Laferte was born Norma Monserrat Bustamante Laferte in Viña del Mar, Chile. She started her career at the age of 9, after winning a guitar in a singing contest.[1] She received a scholarship to attend a musical conservatory in Viña del Mar at the age of 13, and soon after began playing in bars in Valparaíso and Santiago.[2]
Career
In 2003, Laferte, then known as Monserrat Bustamante, entered in the Chilean reality competition series Rojo. The same year she released her first studio album, La Chica de Rojo. The album had great success in Chile, receiving Gold and Platinum certifications. She became part of the "Clan Rojo" and was on the television series for four seasons.
In 2007, Laferte decided to start a new chapter in her musical career by moving to Mexico City from Chile, where she began singing in nightclubs and recording cover songs.[3] In 2009, she released a single titled "Lo mismo que yo," which was to be the lead single from an upcoming album.[4] The same year, Laferte was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, effectively putting a halt to her album.[5]
Around the time of her battle with cancer, she abandoned her original stage name and introduced the world to Mon Laferte, expressing that the name represented a new beginning for her:
"Mi cambio de nombre no es por querer ser otra persona, es que las circunstancias de la vida me han llevado a cambiar mucho y sentí que tenía que empezar de cero."[6]
Laferte decided to scrap the album she was recording in 2009, and returned two years later with her second studio album, titled Desechable. The next year, in 2012, she was invited to judge the second season of the Chilean version of The X Factor, called Factor X, along with Karen Doggenweiler, Tito Beltrán and José Luis Rodríguez.
In 2013, she released her third album, Tornasol. She received media attention in 2015 with her single "Tu falta de querer" from the album Mon Laferte, Vol.1. In 2016, she won a MTV Millennial Award for the "Latin Video of the Year"[7] and receiving two nominations on the Latin Grammy Awards of 2016 for Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album.
Laferte released her fifth album La Trenza, her most acclaimed album to date, in 2017. Her single with Colombian rock star Juanes, "Amárrame," won the Best Alternative Song award at the 18th Latin GRAMMYs,[8] in which she was also nominated for Best Alternative Music Album, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Record of the Year.[9]
In October 2013, Laferte became a vegetarian for ethical reasons. As of 2017, she is a vegan.[10][11][12]
In June 2018, she co-hosted the 2018 MTV Millennial Awards in Mexico City at the Mexico City Arena along with the Venezuelan YouTube personality La Divaza.[13]
