María José Llergo (born 1994) is a Spanish singer.
Biography
Born in Pozoblanco, in 1994,[1] Llergo joined the local violin school at a young age.[2] She also stood out in the choir of the Colegio Concepcionistas.[3] Owing to being granted a musical scholarship, she moved to Barcelona when she was 19 years old, continuing her musical education, starting a professional career as a singer.[2]
Llergo's first single was "Niña de las dunas" (2018), performing alongside guitarist Marc López.[4] After the release of several songs such as "Nana del Mediterráneo" or "Me miras pero no ves", she published her first EP, Sanación, in 2020.[3] In 2022, she won a Goya award for her song "Te Espera El Mar", which formed part of the soundtrack for the Spanish film Mediterráneo. In June, it was announced that José Llergo would collaborate with Zahara for her reissue "REPUTA". The song was released on September 23, alongside the album's release.
