Melissa Robles

Melissa Robles is a Mexican singer whose public career first developed on YouTube, where she began sharing ukulele-backed covers and built her own audience before becoming established in the pop scene. Her public channel still reflects that early stage and now describes her as a singer and member of Matisse, while her Instagram profile continues the same identity through music, travel and ukulele. That digital foundation was crucial to her rise, because her voice and approachable style attracted attention well before her name became tied to a band with continental reach.

She became widely known when she joined Matisse in 2014, the Mexican pop group formed alongside Pablo Preciado and Román Torres. Multiple accounts of her career agree that the turning point came after her YouTube covers, especially “Fascinación” by Carlos Rivera, brought her to the attention of Pablo and Román, who were looking for a female voice to complete the project. From there, Melissa moved from digital creator to band vocalist in a group that soon released “La misma luna,” issued the album Sube in 2015 and earned a Latin Grammy nomination for Best New Artist that same year, helping establish Matisse’s international profile in Spanish-language ballads and pop.

Her career has since remained tied both to her individual profile and to Matisse’s expansion. Beyond bandmates Pablo Preciado and Román Torres, her public trajectory also connects to figures such as Carlos Rivera, because of the cover that helped spark her discovery, and to artists like Pedro Capó, Camilo, Ha*Ash and Reik, whose names have been linked to the band through collaborations during its regional growth. That combination of a YouTube-born start and later development with Matisse explains why Melissa Robles became one of the most recognizable voices in contemporary Mexican romantic pop.
