Juá is a self-taught musician and mentor whose journey through grief, loss, and self-discovery shapes the heart of her art. Raised in a Caribbean household in Florida, music was both a refuge and a constant companion. From singing herself to sleep as a child to the first time hearing Erik B & Rakim at age eight, music ignited a fire in her that would fuel her artistic path.
After losing her best friend Justin to gun violence at the age of 14, Juá's relationship with music deepened, transforming it into a tool for healing and a means to mentor others. Her debut song, Keep Moving, became both a tribute to Justin and a message of resilience that resonated deeply with those facing similar struggles.

Since then, she has dedicated herself to growth both as an artist and a mentor. Her early experiences—selling her first mixtape in eighth grade and performing at the ATL Improv at a kids' comedy show hosted by Cole Brown—laid the foundation for her continued exploration of music and self-expression. She has honed her craft through programs like GZ Radio, and The Residency, where she sharpened her skills and found support within the vibrant Seattle arts community.
Today, Juá is driven to share her light through music, using her art to empower others while staying true to her mission of growth, mentorship, and resilience.
