Andrea Elena Mangiamarchi, known professionally as Elena Rose, was born on March 23, 1995, in Miami, Florida. She is a Venezuelan-American singer and songwriter who spent her childhood between Puerto Rico and Venezuela before moving to the United States at age 19. Her musical journey began with performances in local bars, leading to collaborations with high-caliber artists such as Ricky Martin. Elena Rose's breakthrough came with the release of "Dollar", a single by Becky G featuring Myke Towers, which she co-wrote and was released on October 25, 2019. This collaboration propelled her into the industry spotlight. Since then, Elena Rose has worked extensively as a songwriter for numerous international artists including Alejandro Sanz, Anitta, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Maluma, Shakira, and Tini. Her debut single "Sandunga" was released in May 2020, followed by "Fenomenal" later that same month. In 2024, she released her first EP En Las Nubes - Con Mis Panas and the single "Me Lo Merezco". In 2025 she pivoted toward a full-length era: the Justin Quiles team-up “Cosita Linda” arrived in July as a streaming driver, and her debut album Bendito Verano followed in late October 2025 on Warner Music Latina, folding pop, afrobeat and tropical colors into a cohesive set and featuring guests such as Young Miko, Eladio Carrión and Rawayana. In March 2026, she became the first Latin woman to receive the BMI Impact Award, recognizing her work as both a songwriter and a performer. She followed in May with the EP No Quiero Que Se Acabe Este Bendito Verano, a five-song extension led by “La Semana” with Manuel Turizo and “TUTUTU” with Alleh, alongside “Quién Contra Mí,” “Te Pensé,” and “Agradezco.” In June, she appeared at FIFA’s 2026 World Cup Countdown Concert in Mexico City with Los Ángeles Azules and Belinda, keeping her visible on one of the year’s biggest international stages.
