Leonardo Aguilar
About this Artist
Leonardo Aguilar, part of the new generation of the Aguilar dynasty, is a prominent artist in regional Mexican music. He has stood out not only as a great performer, but also as a songwriter and producer. Born on January 15, 1999, he is the son of renowned singer Pepe Aguilar and the brother of Ángela Aguilar.
In 2016, he released Gallo Fino, his first solo album, produced by his father and featuring collaborations with Espinoza Paz and El Chapo de Sinaloa. With this project, he earned nominations at the Latin Grammy Awards for Best Ranchero/Mariachi Album and Best Regional Mexican Song for Compromiso Descartado, as well as a nomination at the Anglo Grammy Awards in 2018 for Best Regional Mexican Music Album (Including Tejano).
Since 2018, Leonardo has been actively participating in the family shows Jaripeo Sin Fronteras and Jaripeo Hasta Los Huesos, touring across Mexico and the United States alongside his father and sister Ángela. In these shows, he not only sings but also takes part in the equestrian performances, reflecting his deep love for ranch life.
In 2023 and 2024, he continued to release music with a more mature style and original lyrics. Among his most recent songs are El Comienzo del Final and No Lo Podía Hacer Mejor. During that same period, he released his album Soy Como Quiero Ser, a tribute to Joan Sebastian, which includes the standout track Bandido de Amores, reaching #1 on Regional Mexican Airplay and #2 on Latin Airplay.
His single Por el Contrario, featuring Becky G and Ángela Aguilar, became a viral hit and reached #1 on the Latin Pop charts. This track earned him a 2024 Latin Grammy nomination for Best Regional Mexican Song.
In 2025, Leonardo released Le voy a pedir a Dios, a self-penned song that showcases his most intimate side as a singer-songwriter. That same year, he solidified his status as a key figure in regional Mexican music by becoming one of the most nominated artists at Premio Lo Nuestro 2025, with eight nominations including Song of the Year, Mexican Music Song of the Year, Mariachi/Ranchera Song of the Year, Male Artist of the Year – Mexican Music, and Collaboration of the Year.
Leonardo is currently preparing for what promises to be a milestone moment in his career: his participation in Los Aguilar’s symphonic concert with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, set to take place on August 15 and 16 at the iconic Hollywood Bowl. He will share the stage with his father and sister in an unprecedented event that celebrates the rich musical legacy of the Aguilar family.
