Trial in high-profile cases such as that of Mexican drug trafficker Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán and that of Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire linked to a child trafficking network, as well as bariatric surgery have been key factors for Puerto Rican attorney Mariel Colón Miró , shake off certain fears and take the step he had always dreamed of in music.
He did it at the age of 30 and in the regional Mexican genre.
“My father was the musical director of artists like Lucecita (Benítez) and Chucho Avellanet, so it wasn’t allowed to listen to reggaeton in my house. One of my favorite singers is Ana Gabriel and what does she sing? Rancheras, mariachi, very short vein music. I choose this approach, firstly because it’s what I was used to and it’s because of my musical influences. Second, the fact that I am the advocate of high profile Mexican figures and have many supporters from Mexico. And I wanted to give them my music, my talent and I wanted to sing for them. Also, I love corridos and enjoy them,” said Colón, who launched the market with the single La Abogada.
Aside from his parents’ insistence that he pursue professional studies, he turned away from music because of fears he says he overcame last year when he underwent bariatric surgery to become a musician To lose weight.
“I’m 30 years old and I said if I don’t do it now, I never will. And the more it scares me – apart from what the people, the judges, my colleagues might think if they don’t take me seriously professionally because I do that – the more scared it made me that in 30 years would die without “I did it. done,” he said SPOKESMAN.

He assured that it was a transition and not a career change because “Mariel will not stop being a lawyer. It’s just that Mariel has a new facet in her life, which is singing. And I will continue to do both. I believe that both professions can coexist.”
Appearing on stage and in the courtroom triggers a “different” fear in him, for which he is grateful because the day he loses it, he understands that he must retire. He reiterates that both music and law “require incredible seriousness and professionalism.”
His musical career begins with “La Abogada,” a song that reflects his work experience and the impact his career has had on his private life. As a second cut, he tackles “No Other Has Been Born,” in which he tells the story of a strong woman who makes the decision to close the door on a toxic relationship.
His plans are to release a single with a music video every 30 to 45 days to serve as a prelude to an EP.
On the other hand, he is aware and assumes that it will be difficult to distance himself from the El Chapo name.
“It doesn’t bother me that they know me as El Chapo’s attorney. If they want to keep calling me El Chapo’s attorney for the rest of my life, I have no problem. On the contrary, this was the case that made me and thanks to this case I am where I am. So I feel nothing but pride, immense pride,” he admitted.
