EDGARDO NUÑEZ EARNS TWO NOMINATIONS AT THE 2026 PREMIOS JUVENTUD

The Sinaloa-born singer is nominated in the Best Mexican Music Fusion and New Generation - Mexican Music categories, arriving amid a sold-out tour across the United States and Mexico and the release of his single "Bendecido"

Miami, FL, July 28, 2026. Edgardo Nuñez adds another milestone to a 2026 that has been nothing but ascent so far. The singer received a double nomination today at the 2026 Premios Juventud: Best Mexican Music Fusion and New Generation - Mexican Music. This marks the show's 23rd edition, which will make history this year by moving outside the Americas for the first time, taking place September 3 at the Starlite Amphitheater in Marbella, Spain.

This recognition follows the release of his latest single, "Bendecido," which he co-wrote with Ulices Erubiel Valenzuela and produced himself. More than a song, it is a first-person account: a chronicle of days with no money in his pocket, of stumbles brought on by his own hand, and of the determination it takes to get back up again and again. It isn't an invented story, it's his own, told plainly and with an honesty rarely found within the genre.

The timing couldn't be better. Edgardo is currently touring the United States and Mexico on a run that has sold out multiple venues, and he recently confirmed his participation in Festival ARRE 2026, one of the most important events in Mexican music, scheduled for September 5 and 6 in Mexico City. With more than 14 million monthly listeners on Spotify, his reach keeps growing on both sides of the border.

Between the tour, the new single and now the nominations, Edgardo Nuñez makes clear that his story is no accident: it is the result of years of work now bearing fruit, and he is just getting started.

Voting for Premios Juventud is now open and will be available until August 10 through premiosjuventud.com.
