Karla Camila Cabello Estrabao born on March 3, 1997 is a Cuban-born American singer and songwriter. Cabello was born in Havana, Cuba, to Sinuhe Estrabao and Alejandro Cabello. She grew up in the town of Cojímar in East Havana. Her father was born in Mexico City and is a Mexican who moved to Cuba.
She has a younger sister named Sofia. For most of her early life, Cabello and her family moved back and forth between Havana and Mexico City. When Cabello was five, she relocated to Miami, Florida, in the United States, with her mother. Her father was unable to obtain a visa at the time and joined the family approximately 18 months later.
Cabello acquired American citizenship in 2008. She attended Miami Palmetto High School but left in the 2012–2013 school year while she was in 9th grade to pursue her singing career. She later earned her high school diploma.
She rose to prominence as a member of the girl group Fifth Harmony, formed on The X Factor USA in 2012, signing a joint record deal with Syco Music and Epic Records.
While in Fifth Harmony, Cabello began to establish herself as a solo artist with the release of the collaborations “I Know What You Did Last Summer” with Shawn Mendes, and “Bad Things” with Machine Gun Kelly, the latter reaching number four on the US Billboard Hot 100.
After leaving the group in late 2016, Cabello released several other collaborations, including “Hey Ma” with Pitbull and J Balvin for The Fate of the Furious soundtrack (2017), and her debut solo single “Crying in the Club”.
On September 1, 2019, Cabello posted a clip on Instagram, teasing the release of her second studio Romance.
Two days later, she announced the first two singles from the album: “Liar” and “Shameless”, which were released on September 5, followed by “Cry for Me” and “Easy” in October 2019.
Romance was released on December 6, 2019, and supported by the Romance Tour in 2020.
“Living Proof” was released with the pre-orders of the album on November 15, 2019.
“My Oh My” featuring DaBaby entered the top 20 on the Hot 100.
In mid-March 2020, Cabello participated in iHeart Media’s Living Room Concert for America, a benefit to raise awareness and funds for the COVID-19 pandemic.
