María Emilia Mernes (born 29 October 1996), known mononymously as Emilia, is an Argentine singer, songwriter, model, and actress. She began her career as the lead vocalist of the Uruguayan cumbia pop band Rombai. Two years after joining, Mernes began to focus on her solo career.
After signing with the label Sony Music Latin and management company WK Entertainment, Mernes found commercial success. She released her pop and urban debut studio album Tú Crees en Mí?, certified Platinum by the CAPIF. In 2023, Emilia earned her first number-one singles on the Argentina Hot 100 with "En la Intimidad", along with Big One and Callejero Fino, and "Los del Espacio", as part of the supergroup of the same name. In the same year, she released her 2000s-influenced album .MP3, which reached number two in Argentina and contained her third chart-topper "La Original", a collaboration with Tini.
Mernes' accolades include two Premios Gardel, a Premio Odeón, and a MTV MIAW Award, as well as nominations for the Latin Grammy Awards, Heat Latin Music Awards, Premios Juventud, Los 40 Music Awards, and the Premios Tu Música Urbano, among others.
Early life
Born and raised in Nogoyá, Entre Ríos, Emilia's devotion to music began when she was just 12 years old and her grandfather gave her a guitar. Since then, creating melodies, strumming her guitar, singing, and dancing have become her passions. She comes from a close-knit family, and her parents have always been supportive of her musical journey.

Why this record matters
The phrase “argentine singer (born 1996)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q68110339. The first chronological checks are 1996 and 2023.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
