Ximena Sariñana

A Mexican singer and songwriter who began her career in entertainment as a child actor, Ximena Sariñana crafts introspective adult alternative pop with a subtle jazz bent, often structured around her main instrument, the piano. Drawing comparisons to musicians such as Regina Spektor and Nora Jones, she made her recording debut in 2008 with Mediocre, which reached number two on the album chart in Mexico. Focusing mainly on music thereafter, she was a judge on the TV talent competition Mexico Tiene Talento in 2014, the same year she released her third studio album, No Todo lo Puedes Dar. ~ Jason Birchmeier
