doesn’t feel famous. Even amidst the sold-out North American tours, the screaming girls around every corner, and the record-breaking streaming numbers, he refuses to give in to the descriptor. “I have a cool little following of supporters, but I wouldn’t say I’m famous,” he tellsWe’re sitting in a secluded lounge at the NRG Arena in Houston, Texas. The Mexican-American crooner has just played a headlining show at the Houston Rodeo to more than 72,000 people.
“I feel like my fans just have a lot of love for me and vice versa. Every show I do, they always show tremendous amounts of love. It just means the world to me,” he says. As the rodeo portion of the show concludes, the lights dim, and the geometric rotating stage is rolled out into the humongous arena of dirt. The screams when he comes on stage are unlike anything I’ve ever witnessed, piercing my eardrums on a frequency so high that it almost feels meditative.
It feels like a turning point. Through all of the Regional Mexican music boom of the last couple of years, there’s something about Ivan Cornejo that stands out. On stage, his small frame takes up very little space, yet he looms large. Though he doesn’t say much in between songs and looks down when he smiles, the big screens flash to fans losing their minds. “I’m not the most photogenic, I guess,” he tells me when I ask about posting photos on social media and promoting himself.
After our interview, Cornejo is whisked away by his management, but an older Hispanic security guard asks if he can take a picture with him. Cornejo obliges. It’s a sweet moment. Even though he may not feel famous, it’s safe to say that Cornejo is shaping up to be one of the most influential young artists of our time. For him, it’s all about authenticity — and it’s something that his audience can feel deeply.
