Биография

Macha Kiddo (Sofia Madriz) was born and raised in Alajuela, Costa Rica. Since moving to Buenos Aires over 10 years ago, she's adapted to the insanity of the city and quite literally found her rhythm in it. Originally a drummer, she began experimenting with her voice as she was playing in various groups, and began freestyling and collaborating with producers. She developed her own very characteristic flow that's somewhere between heavy and sweet. In 2017, her first single Monster, came out on a compilation called Future Sounds of Argentina (via Waxploitation). Billboard highlighted the track, noting its "game rhymes" and "Bronx-inflected electronic beat." Macha Kiddo has been practically living in the studio since. Shortly after, in 2018, she released her first EP Inpenetrable, which featured collaborations with Costa Rican Producer + Artist Javier Arce and Argentinean producer and artist Kaleema. Her following single, Jony (La Romi), came out later that year along with an extremely strong video directly confronting the homophic + transphoic political climate that was rampant in Costa Rica at the time. Noted U.S. blog Remezcla called the song "a powerful indictment of Transphobia." Macha Kiddo operates on a highly politically + socially conscious level- releasing songs to both disturb and create peace. In April 2021, Macha Kiddo will be releasing a new album via Kin Kon records, produced by Latin Grammy winning artist Ulises Lozano (El Licenciado).
