Info
Of the numerous striking qualities of Cup\xe9ro, the 19-year-old singer/songwriter and rocker, it\u2019s the commanding presence of her voice and songs that sets her apart. Cup\xe9ro sings with a maturity and sense of permanence that belies her youth and the relatively short amount of time that she has been in the New York music scene. On her debut, self-titled EP, she sings with a passion that reveals an unshakable commitment and ambition to be a performer that transcends barriers of music, ethnicity and language.

Raised in Warwick, New York, about 65 miles north of New York City, Cup\xe9ro has been singing since she was four years old. Piano lessons began at nine and then guitar at sixteen, which for her, has been the key to unlock everything. She explains, \u201cSince picking up the guitar, everything has fallen into place \u2013 it was the right instrument for me to begin writing songs on, and image-wise, I love it. When I\u2019m playing guitar \u2013 that\u2019s the essence of who I am.\u201d

\n

Influenced by everything from modern artists like KT Tunstall and a few classic rock artists, Cup\xe9ro saves her biggest praise for the Columbian rock artist Juanes, a winner of seventeen Latin Grammys and who has sold over ten million albums. She says, \u201cI really admire his music and his activism, and the fact that he\u2019s bilingual was the inspiration for me to become a bilingual artist.\u201d
