On April 23, 2000, a significant figure in the rapidly growing genre of corridos tumbados was born: Antonio Herrera Pérez, better known as Junior H. Hailing from Guanajuato, Mexico, he was captivated by music from an early age. While in high school, he juggled his studies with a job as a cook at a fast-food restaurant, all while nurturing his passion for music. Self-taught, he learned to play the accordion and guitar through online tutorials, spending his free time crafting lyrics and recording his original songs to hone his craft.
Junior H burst onto the music scene in 2019 with his debut album, Mi Vida en un Cigarro (My Life in a Cigarette). The album featured the hit track “No He Cambiado” (I Haven’t Changed), which quickly gained popularity, amassing over 2 million views. His remarkable talent caught the eye of the esteemed record label Rancho Humilde, marking the beginning of his rise in the music industry.
