Early life

While growing up she listened to a variety of artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Ray Charles, as well as those representative of musical folklore such as João Gilberto, Ray Barretto or Atahualpa Yupanqui. In 2004, she emigrated to Spain with her family. She first resided in Alicante. At the age of 16, she began to perform in hotels and restaurants in Torrevieja, mainly performing classic songs by Frank Sinatra, Etta James or Nina Simone. As a teenager she began uploading versions to her YouTube channel. She moved to Murcia shortly after, where she entered the city's local university to study a degree in Audiovisual Communication. After leaving the degree program, she moved to Madrid to study Fine Arts at the King Juan Carlos University. She specialized in Pedagogy of Visual Arts and Dance. While studying, she worked in the hospitality industry as a waitress at VIPS and Domino's Pizza, among others.

In 2020 she reached the attention of the general public and the mainstream audience after Operación Triunfo contestant Anaju sang "La Sandunguera" on prime time to keep participating on the show.[12] After that, Peluso was invited to the show on Women's Day to promote her new single "Business Woman", defined as a feminist anthem.[13] During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Peluso released a musical collaboration with urbano artist Rels B titled "No Se Perdona", which had great commercial success.
