Greeicy

Greeicy serves as the stage identity for Greeicy Rendon, the Colombian performer who fuses cumbia, Latin pop, tropical, and urbano elements in her work as a vocalist, composer, and screen actress. Her warm, richly melodic alto brings added depth to even the rawest urbano productions. The polished clip accompanying her 2018 non-album single “Más Fuerte,” which reached the charts that year, accumulated more than 266 million YouTube streams.

Born in Cali, Colombia, Rendon moved with her family to Bogota at the age of five. Singing, dancing, and acting captured her attention from the moment she began to talk, and she pursued formal study in all three disciplines beginning in first grade. By age ten she was entering talent competitions and festivals, and at fifteen she appeared as a contestant on the Colombian program El Factor Xs. Although she did not claim victory, sponsor José Gaviria helped her gain entry into the network’s casting pool. Her first major television part arrived in 2009 with the telenovela Cuando Salga el Sol, in which she portrayed the teenage daughter of the central couple. A recurring role in Correo de Inocentes followed in 2010 and lasted two seasons; she then joined the main ensemble of ¿Dónde Está Elisa? The next year brought another recurring part in La Prepago together with the lead in the RCN Television teen series Chica Vampiro. Two additional co-starring turns came in 2014 on La Ronca de Oro and Los Años Maravillosos. In 2016, the same year she began contemplating a full-time recording career, she appeared in Tiro de Gracia and subsequently in Las Vega’s.

Greeicy’s move into music began in 2017 with a series of digital singles and accompanying videos. The first three—“Brindemos,” “Error,” and “Despierta”—made only modest impressions on streaming rankings, yet the fourth, “Amantes,” performed strongly enough to justify a salsa reinterpretation featuring Mike Bahia and Victor Manuelle. That version amassed 13 million views, topped the Mexican pop chart, and reached number six in Colombia. By 2018 she had committed to music exclusively, securing a Universal contract and gracing magazine covers throughout Colombia, Puerto Rico, and Mexico City. February brought her breakthrough pop-cumbia single “Más Fuerte,” which placed sixth on the Colombian pop chart and fifth on the Mexican listing. She joined the Rudeboyz for the reggaeton track “No Te Equivoques” and Feid for the urban ballad “Perfecta,” whose video she headlined. The latter song spent more than eighteen weeks on the Colombian charts and surpassed 30 million views. A Papá Kumbé remix of “No Te Equivoques” gained traction in clubs across Latin America and Western Europe without charting. Her subsequent single, the intimate urban love song “Ya Para Qué,” entered the streaming top ten, its video eventually exceeding 70 million views. She next paired with David Bisbal on “Perdon.” Released shortly before her collaboration with Anitta on “Jacuzzi,” the “Perdon” video collected more than 35 million streams in its opening month. At the year’s Heat Latin Music Awards, Greeicy received three nominations: best new artist, best female artist, and best collaboration for “Amantes” with Mike Bahia.
