Emilia Wins Rising Star Award at Billboard's Debut Latin Women in Music Celebration

On May 7, Emilia, the urban pop sensation known for her electrifying live performances, rocked the inaugural Mujeres Latinas En La Música and received Billboard's Rising Star award for her impressive chart-topping career. The star-studded event featured performances from some of the biggest names in Latin music.

The first-ever Billboard Latin Women in Music event aired on Telemundo on May 7, celebrating the talents of Latin female artists, executives, and creatives who are working hard to drive positive change, inclusion, and gender parity in the music industry.

Emilia is currently one of the hottest artists, dominating the charts and making waves in the music industry with her unique sound and aesthetic inspired by the early 2000s. Her latest release, "No_Se_Ve.mp3," a collaboration with top-selling Brazilian favela queen Ludmilla and producer Zecca, is set to continue this momentum. The duo took the stage together for the first time at the Latin Women in Music event, giving a sizzling performance of the new track, a party anthem that combines Brazilian funk and EDM.

After a powerful show and wearing a sexy and sophisticated black number by Coperni, Emilia delivered a memorable acceptance speech upon receiving the Rising Star award. "To all those little girls watching me from home, do not give up; believe in yourself; the power is within you,” she said on stage.

Emilia and Ludmilla made history by premiering the full-length music video for "No_Se_Ve.mp3" exclusively via Instagram Reels. The catchy hook, polished production, and upbeat tempo perfectly encapsulate the vibe of the early 2000s, displaying a mix of bright colors, bold patterns, and flashy accessories, influenced by hip-hop and R&B fashion. The post broke records, surpassing an incredible 40 million views in the first 24 hours. Less than a week later, the video had amassed over 190 million views, cementing Emilia's status as an innovator in the music industry.

Emilia's second video for "No_Se_Ve.mp3" with Ludmilla debuted on YouTube on Friday, highlighting the star's aptitude for experimentation and innovation in pushing the boundaries of what is possible with music. The video is yet another milestone for Emilia, setting trends and inspiring young artists to pursue their dreams.
