DannyLux<\/u><\/a> is really angelic. \u201cAt the end of the day, I just put everything in God\u2019s hands,\u201d he tells PAPER<\/em><\/em>. <\/p>\n

It seems to be working. The 21-year-old sierre\u00f1o singer was just nominated for his second consecutive Latin GRAMMY<\/em><\/em> \u2014 this time for Best Contemporary Mexican Music Album \u2014 and is set to perform at the ceremony later this month. His calm, faith-filled energy stands in contrast to the whirlwind around him: sudden schedule changes, packed shows and a loyal fan base that shows up no matter what.<\/p>\n

After Migo Fest<\/u><\/a> \u2014 a Mexican corridos festival celebrating the next wave of regional acts \u2014 was canceled at the last minute, DannyLux and Estevie still made the trip to New York. They decided to turn the weekend into something special, hosting a Brooklyn pop-up show for fans who had already flown in for the fest. At one point during his set, DannyLux wrapped himself in a fan\u2019s Mexican flag and gave an impassioned speech about pride and gratitude \u2014 a reminder of how deeply his music connects to his roots. The room erupted, a sea of hands and phones waving back at him in unison.<\/p>\n

That same spiritual sincerity carries into his latest single, \u201cpreguntalealaluna<\/u><\/a>,\u201d out today. The track is a conversation with the moon that he describes as an emotional release. Written and produced by DannyLux himself, the track builds on the introspective sound of LEYENDA<\/a><\/em><\/em> \u2014 his breakout 2025 album that blurred the lines between sad sierre\u00f1o and bedroom pop. The song will appear on LEYENDA DELUXE<\/em><\/em>, out November 10 via VPS Music and Warner Music Latina, which adds four new tracks and a refreshed cover to his already sprawling, 19-song project.<\/p>\n

DannyLux\u2019s fusion of regional Mexican instrumentation and subtle electronic touches has made him one of the genre\u2019s most imaginative storytellers. But beyond the numbers \u2014 the Grammy nominations, the festival bookings, the viral moments \u2014 his music remains rooted in family. <\/p>\n

Earlier this month, he rented a Los Angeles billboard<\/u><\/a> featuring an old family photo, captioned: \u201cMy parents left everything so we can have everything. Today, they\u2019re Latin Grammy-nominated, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

That sense of gratitude grounds everything he does. Whether he\u2019s performing on a makeshift stage in Brooklyn or preparing for the Latin GRAMMYs<\/em><\/em> red carpet with his parents by his side, DannyLux carries his purpose with quiet conviction.<\/p>\n

Below, DannyLux talks to us about immigrant pride, performing at the Latin GRAMMYs<\/em><\/em>, and the next chapter of LEYENDA DELUXE<\/em><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The past year has been pretty crazy with the ICE raids in LA and all the immigration protests. How has that impacted the way you approach your music and career?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I feel like it\u2019s everything. It\u2019s given me a sense of responsibility as a Mexican artist \u2014 especially with my parents being immigrants. I want to help our culture and our people because there\u2019s so much crazy stuff going on. They make us look like criminals sometimes, and it sucks.<\/p>\n

Our parents came to this country with a dream \u2014 that their kids could have a better life. So honestly, doing music feels like the least I can do for them. I want to motivate all the immigrants, all the kids of immigrants, the first-generation kids like me, to believe that whatever their dreams are, they can do it.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t even think music would take me anywhere, bro. I was just doing it because I loved it. My dad used to work as a garbage truck driver \u2014 he\u2019d leave at 4 a.m. and get home around 7 p.m. One day he randomly found a guitar, and even after those long days, he\u2019d still try to play. I\u2019d only see him at night when he came home to sleep. It sucked, because I\u2019d think, damn, my dad\u2019s doing all this work while I\u2019m not doing anything.<\/p>\n

He was holding it down for the whole family \u2014 for me and my siblings. So I just want to give back to them. I thank God that my music has been able to put a smile on their faces. They dedicated their whole lives to us, and nothing compares to the struggles they went through.<\/p>\n

Tell me about the billboard you put up of your family for your <\/strong>Latin GRAMMY <\/em><\/strong><\/em>nomination.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Man, that billboard meant a lot to me. I remember when we found out about the Latin GRAMMY <\/em>nomination. I was so stoked, bro. I told my mom and dad, and we all started crying. I just kept thinking, if it wasn\u2019t for them, I would\u2019ve never even started making music. I wouldn\u2019t have gotten nominated in the first place.<\/p>\n

So I wanted to do something for them \u2014 and for every immigrant parent out there. Putting up that billboard felt like a cool way to give back, even in a small way. It was just a message of love and positivity. There\u2019s so much heavy stuff happening in the world \u2014 wars, violence, all that \u2014 so I wanted to put something out there that felt hopeful. It\u2019s like planting a seed and hoping it grows into something good.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re also performing at the Latin GRAMMYs. Can you give us a sneak peek of what the performance will look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re preparing something super sick. My music\u2019s a little different from the usual commercial stuff, so we had to figure out how to make it work for TV \u2014 especially since my songs are usually like four minutes long. We definitely had to shorten things up a bit.<\/p>\n

But honestly, I\u2019m just honored to even be performing at the GRAMMYs<\/em>, bro. The whole band\u2019s going to be there, and that means a lot to me because that album \u2014 the one that got nominated \u2014 we all worked on it together. It wasn\u2019t just me. So the fact that we all get to share that stage is crazy.<\/p>\n

My parents are coming too \u2014 they\u2019ll be walking the red carpet with me \u2014 and that\u2019s what really makes it special. It\u2019s going to be such a sick experience, and I just want to soak in every moment.<\/p>\n

You just announced <\/strong>LEYENDA DELUXE<\/em><\/strong><\/em>. What can we expect?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, bro \u2014 we\u2019re dropping LEYENDA DELUXE soon. I\u2019m adding four new songs, so it\u2019ll be 23 total. The original Leyenda already had 19, so yeah, it\u2019s a long one. We\u2019re also changing the album cover, giving it a fresh look. The new songs keep that same Leyenda vibe, but we really took our time with each one. I\u2019m just excited for people to hear them \u2014 they feel like a continuation of everything we built with the original, just elevated.<\/p>\n

Any big plans for 2026? Are you already looking ahead?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We\u2019re planning to do the best tour we\u2019ve ever done, bro \u2014 the best production, the best musicality, everything. We\u2019re really digging deep into every detail: every chord, every transition, every part of every song. The goal is to make it the best show we\u2019ve ever put on.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m super excited. 2026 is going to be a huge year for us \u2014 that\u2019s the plan. But at the end of the day, I just put everything in God\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n
