Who Is Frida Sofía Guzmán Muñoz?

Frida first gained recognition as a singer after appearing on a Mexican TV talent show, marking the beginning of her music career.

Her adventures in Europe were documented on her Instagram account, where she shared glimpses of her visits to iconic landmarks such as the Louvre, Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, and Disneyland Paris.

However, Frida's family background is shadowed by the criminal legacy of her grandfather, El Chapo, who is serving a life sentence at the Florence Supermax prison in Colorado, USA. Her father, Edgar Guzmán López, one of El Chapo's sons, met a tragic end in a cartel shootout in Culiacan, Sinaloa, in 2008. Frida's mother has since remarried to Mexican boxing legend Julio César Chávez Jr. Despite the tumultuous history of her family, Frida continues to pursue her passion for music and strives to carve out her own identity in the spotlight. With her talent and determination, she aims to transcend the shadows of her past and make a name for herself in the music industry.
