Roberto Tapia, born in San Diego and raised in Culiacán, Sinaloa, has emerged as one of the most influential voices in Regional Mexican music. Since launching his career in the early 2000s, he has released a series of successful albums, including eight that reached the top 10. His 2012 album El Muchacho climbed to No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart, showcasing a blend of banda, norteño, and mariachi traditions with a contemporary style.
A gifted multi-instrumentalist, Tapia began studying clarinet, guitar, and percussion at just nine years old at the Difocur School of Music in Culiacán. Over the years, he has performed on major stages and television appearances, including the Latin Billboard Awards, LATV, and Universal Music Latino.
Expanding his impact beyond performing, Tapia served as a coach and advisor for three seasons on Telemundo’s La Voz Kids (The Voice Kids), mentoring young Spanish-speaking singers between the ages of 7 and 15. His guidance and encouragement on the show highlighted not only his musical expertise but also his dedication to inspiring the next generation of talent.
