fco. chandia was born in peñalolén, santiago, and picked up his first guitar at nine. he made his music his own way, in home rooms, somewhere between alternative hip-hop, indie and latin r&b. in 2019 he moved to the united states, and his debut, santiago…, is about exactly that: leaving, a long-distance love and the uprising of that year.
miami brought a la calmita*, songs made for singing together, and la carita del diablo, his darker side. he has been in sessions with feid, lunay, myke towers, peso pluma and maría becerra, was assistant engineer on four songs of joropango, kerreke’s latin grammy-winning album, and in 2024 signed with warner chappell. next comes nosferatu, with a new album on the way.
