Rafael Montecruz’s music is deeply rooted in his appreciation for its evolution. Growing up in an era before streaming platforms, this perspective has shaped his approach to music creation, combining modern production techniques with the timeless appeal of genuine emotional connection.
Rafael’s journey began in the vibrant church scene of San Francisco, where he honed his drumming skills by ear, developing a profound connection to music through his mother’s diverse CD collection and the thrill of uncovering new songs on the radio. He has since expanded his repertoire to include guitar, piano, and vocal composition, and his dedication to crafting emotionally resonant music has resulted in multiple award-winning tracks and chart-topping success.
Since his English-language single debut in December 2023, produced in collaboration with Abraham Armell, Rafael Montecruz has achieved remarkable success. His tracks “Day” and “I Saw Her” swept the prestigious Festival de la Cancion in June 2024, with “I Saw Her” dominating UK Talk Radio’s top spot for three exhilarating weeks. The momentum continued into 2025, with “We’d Be” claiming another Festival de la Canción victory in February. “I Saw Her” advanced to become a semi-finalist at ISC 2024 in March, while “Day” earned recognition as a finalist at the USA Songwriting Competition, recently crossing the milestone of 250,000 streams.
Rafael Montecruz’s latest single, “Dime Qué Será de Ti (Alternate Mix),” showcases his artistic range, combining cinematic elements with heartfelt romance while seamlessly fusing EDM and Latin influences.
