Latin music rising star, Precious Perez, popularly known as The Blind Reggaetonera, is stepping into a bold new chapter of her career with the release of her latest single, No Me Hizo Falta Verte, a deeply personal track that blends merengue, reggaeton and salsa while celebrating love, disability pride and cultural identity.

The song, which serves as the title track of her upcoming Extended Play (EP), is the first of six singles currently being released in a cascade format. According to music star, the track was inspired by her love story with her husband, Shane Lowe, who is also blind. The title, which translates to “I didn’t have to see you,” reflects her belief that love transcends physical sight.

Speaking on the creative process, Perez revealed that the idea for the song emerged during a collaboration with Warner Chappell Latin writers, who encouraged her to share a meaningful story. What began as a conversation about disability pride quickly evolved into a musical celebration of love and resilience.

Beyond her latest release, Perez credits her steady rise in the Latin music scene to a strong support system, including her family, friends, and professional network. She also acknowledged the influence of organisations such as Recording Artistes and Music Professionals with Disabilities (RAMPD), alongside her management and production team, for helping her refine her artistry and strengthen her confidence.

The singer pointed to reggaeton legend Ivy Queen and recording artiste Lachi, founder of RAMPD, as two major mentors who inspired her to embrace her identity and push creative boundaries. She described her journey as one marked by continuous growth, noting that she has transformed from an aspiring artist with a dream into one living that reality.

Perez has also become a prominent advocate for disability inclusion in the music industry. Drawing from her lived experience as a blind Latina musician, she said her goal is to create representation where it has been historically limited. She highlighted that while legendary blind musicians such as Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder paved the way globally, she is determined to carve out a unique space for blind Latina performers in Latin music.

Her mission to become the first blind reggaetonera in the Latin music industry was shaped by both cultural pride and inspiration from trailblazing women who broke gender and societal barriers. For Perez, breaking the mold involves dismantling industry limitations while uplifting marginalised communities through her music.

Academically trained in Music Education and Vocal Performance at Berklee College of Music, Perez said her formal training played a crucial role in shaping her vocal technique and boosting her artistic confidence. Early classical voice lessons in Boston, she explained, helped lay the foundation for her transition into contemporary Latin sounds.

Her earlier single, Sin Preguntar, released in 2023, marked a turning point in her career. The reggaeton and salsa fusion track symbolised empowerment and independence, reinforcing her desire to pursue music on her own terms. The song later gained additional recognition after being referenced in a sync brief for Paramount Plus’ animated Dora series, which led to Perez co-writing a song and voicing a character for the show.
