Melody, cuyo nombre completo es Melodía Ruiz Gutiérrez, irrumpió en la escena musical en 2001 con solo 10 años, y ahora, a sus 34, es la representante de España en el festival Eurovisión.

Su primer sencillo, El baile del gorila, se convirtió en un éxito rotundo en el Europa y América Latina, posicionándola como uno de los fenómenos infantiles más recordados de la década.

La canción alcanzó rápidamente los primeros lugares de los rankings y catapultó a la pequeña artista al estrellato internacional.

A lo largo de su carrera, Melody ha lanzado varios álbumes, evolucionando desde el pop infantil, hacia un estilo más maduro y versátil, superando la etiqueta de “niña prodigio”.

Un rostro conocido en el Festival de Viña del Mar

En 2004, con apenas 12 años, Melody debutó en el Festival Internacional de la Canción de Viña del Mar, convirtiéndose en una de las artistas más jóvenes en presentarse sobre la Quinta Vergara.

En entrevista con Página 7 18 años más tarde, la cantante rememoró aquella experiencia con orgullo.

“Me siento muy afortunada y orgullosa de todo lo que conseguí siendo tan niña. Viña fue una experiencia única que jamás olvidaré”.

Eurovisión 2025: su gran oportunidad

Hoy, con 34 años, Melody vive uno de los momentos más importantes de su carrera al participar en la final de Eurovisión 2025, uno de los escenarios más prestigiosos de la música en el mundo.

Melody y su vínculo especial con Chile

Melody mantiene un lazo afectivo con el público chileno. Su paso por Viña del Mar la marcó profundamente, y en más de una ocasión ha manifestado su cariño por el país.

“Chile me recibió con los brazos abiertos y me hizo sentir como en casa”, comentó en una de sus visitas.

Ahora, su regreso a un escenario internacional como Eurovisión revive el cariño de los fanáticos chilenos.
