Ana Tijoux

Ana Tijoux is from Santiago, Chile. Born in Peru and later transplanted to France, she spent her childhood soaking up the sounds of a number of countries. After achieving fame at a relatively early age as an MC for the Chilean group Mazika when she was 14, she later dropped completely out of the music world to concentrate on being a wife and mother. Never letting her nostalgia for hip-hop stray too far, she jumped right back into the game with her first solo album, Kaos. The album would also steer Tijoux right back into the spotlight and even gained her nominations for the Latin MTV Video Music Awards.
