Bratty made her debut in 2018 with Todo Está Cambiando, an EP recorded entirely in her bedroom. The following year, Bratty was featured on the viral smash “Ropa de Bazar” by Mexican singer/songwriter Ed Maverick and delivered her debut album, Delusión (2019). With her sophomore album, tdbn (2021), Bratty’s reach soon grew far beyond her homeland of Culiacán, Sinaloa, Mexico and led to such accolades as landing on Billboard’s Latin & Spanish Artists to Watch in 2023 list. Bratty earned recognition as the only Mexican-born artist on the Coachella 2023 lineup, and she found herself hailed as a must-see act by major outlets like Entertainment Weekly, with The Los Angeles Times anointing her Mexico’s “reigning garage-pop queen.”

Bratty first explored her musical side at age 11 by teaching herself to play One Direction songs on piano. Within several years, she also took up guitar with the help of YouTube tutorials. Although she started out playing covers, Bratty soon tapped into the lyrical skills she’d developed by writing poetry in her early teens and began creating songs of her own, mining inspiration from female-fronted indie-pop acts Alvvays, Snail Mail, and Best Coast (her artist name is a nod to an early Best Coast song).
