Mariel Colón: From Lawyer to Singer in Mexico City
In the bustling city of Mexico, lawyer Mariel Colón embarks on an unexpected musical journey. Known for her work defending the notorious drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, Mariel is now making waves in the regional Mexican music scene with her stage name “Mariel La Abogada” (Mariel, the Lawyer).
Her latest music video, “La Señora,” features the wife of El Chapo, Emma Coronel, who has recently been released from prison. The video pays tribute to Coronel and showcases her journey to redemption after serving a three-year sentence for drug trafficking. The collaboration between Mariel and Coronel has sparked interest not only in the music industry but also in the fashion world, as they recently modeled together in Milan Fashion Week.
Mariel’s unique blend of traditional Mexican ballads and modern beats has caught the attention of music fans worldwide. As she navigates her dual careers in law and music, she continues to draw inspiration from her upbringing and her experiences working with high-profile clients like Guzmán.
Despite facing criticism and scrutiny, Mariel remains steadfast in her belief that music has the power to connect people and tell stories. By sharing her talent and her personal journey, she hopes to inspire others to pursue their passions and overcome challenges.
As Mariel prepares to release her first record later this year, the world eagerly awaits to see where her musical journey will take her next. Stay tuned for more updates on this rising star from Mexico City.
