Urban Mexican singer-songwriter Junior H will kick off his “$ad Boyz Mania Tour” at Acrisure Arena Saturday evening.
Born Antonio Herrera Pérez, Junior H got his start as a musician by learning instruments from YouTube tutorials, eventually uploading original songs to the platform himself. After his single “No Eh Cambiado” got millions of views and overwhelmingly positive feedback, Junior H released a debut album, “Mi Vida en un Cigarro,” in May 2019.
Since then, Junior H has released seven more albums, four of which achieved Platinum status and three of which peaked at No. 1 on the regional charts. He earned six Billboard Latin Music Award nominations between 2021 and 2023 and is now among the top 200 artists with the most monthly listeners on Spotify.
Junior H’s music combines trap, pop rock, and reggaeton sounds with regional Mexican elements, branching out into related genres as well. He’s made multiple collaborations each with artists such as Peso Pluma and Natanael Cano and writes frequently about sad topics, often relationships â the 2021 album “$ad Boyz for Life” was dedicated to his mother, who lived over 1,000 miles away at the time.
Following his performance at 7 p.m. Saturday in Greater Palm Springs, Junior H will play at 19 other cities across the country, including other Southern California shows in Chula Vista on July 19 and Los Angeles on Oct. 11. He’s teased new music over the past few months, some of which could make an appearance on setlists throughout the tour.
