Ivan Cornejo started his music career at 14 years old. He began posting guitar videos on social media with covers of his favorite songs. According to the article Starlight PR it states, ” He already knew how to play the guitar, which he taught himself at age 8 by watching YouTube videos. The first song he learned to play was ‘La Bamba’ by Ritchie Valens.”
At such a young age he signed with his first record deal; at 16 years old releasing his first song called Noche de Relajo. His very first song was released September 14, 2020, with the record label, Manzana records that is an independent indie label. Along his career he moved from an indie to mainstream record label, signing with Interscope Records on August 10, 2023.
Carina Santos says, “His lyrics are very touching to the heart and his voice shows his emotion.”
Now at age 19, Ivan Cornejo has released yet another single on March 14, 2024 called, Baby Pleasethat is a Sad Sierreño heartbreak anthem that captures the light of his signature sad/melancholy tone.
Coach/Security guard Villa states, “It’s sad and I can feel his pain even though I’m not going through that, it’s a good song.”

He talks about an old relationship that he longs for. He mentions how he wishes to fall in love all over again with them and do it right this time around. He uses metaphorical language (when he says she doesn’t pay rent but lives free in him) referring to him constantly thinking about her. As he moves though his song, he starts not just longing for that relationship but the love that they once had and how he wants “her” to think about him. He ends off with his classic echo tone whisper at the end that ties the song together to end it on a soft note saying, “Baby, please”.

Hey, my name is Alondra Cruz, and I am a Senior. I'm 17 years old and my birthday is in December.
This is my first year taking journalism. I'm pretty good with writing so I'm hoping to write some good things. I've never been a person to speak up or willingly want to speak to others so I'm hoping that I can get out of my comfort zone for this class. I am part of the 2024 student council this year. I've been part of it since the middle of last school year.
Outside of school I am a very sporadic person with people I'm comfortable with. I'm not a very open person when it comes to meeting new people, but I always try and be a person others feel comfortable talking with. I am the youngest in my family. I only have one sibling and he is older than me. I'm a very introverted person and my biggest company at home are my two guinea pigs. They are both girls one named Remi and the other being Bean. One was given to me, and I bought the other one. Taking care of them has become a daily thing for me.
I recently started painting so it's begun to be a hobby of mine. I personally find peace and calmness in painting with different colors. I'm a big fan of dark colors more than I am to light colors. Another hobby I have is that I like collecting small figures of shows I've watched or am watching. Along with that I collect many plushies and blankets. I love having many blankets big or small because it's something that makes me feel very safe and it just makes my room look very comfortable. Lastly, I recently started going to the gym with my brother and it's been a pretty good thing. I hope I can continue these hobbies while school begins to get more difficult with applying to colleges and stuff.
For my future I do plan on going to college and getting my bachelorettes in criminal justice and minor in psychology. I would double major but I kind of don't trust myself in being able to handle it. Mainly it's just a thought for now.
That's a little bit about me if you were interested :)
This is amazing probably one of the best reviews I’ve ever read thank you for being so explicit and honest about the song and what it could mean to people.
