In 2008, she won 'Best New Artist' and 'Best Urban Artist' at the TMF Awards. In 2007, DeLuna won 'Best New Artist' at the Los Premios MTV Latinoamérica 2007 awards. Wanna See U Dance was released as the first single back in 2012. DeLuna released the compilation album 'Loading' in 2016. Viva, the North American edition of the album, was slated to be released later that year however, this never materialized. The album spawned a number of singles, notably 'Unstoppable', 'Push Push', and 'Dancing Tonight' featuring Lil Wayne, Akon, and Fo Onassis respectively. DeLuna later began working on her second studio album, Inside Out (2010), which received a limited release through Universal Music Belgium. DeLuna continued to record both collaborations and soundtrack singles. The album's third single, 'Run the Show', became a hit in various territories, and reached number two on the Hot Dance Club Play chart.įollowing the commercial performance of her first album, DeLuna was dropped from Epic Records. Her debut studio album, 9 Lives (2007), failed to see the success of its lead single. The single went on to become a commercial success, entering the Top 40 in numerous countries and topping the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. After signing with Epic Records, she released her debut single 'Whine Up' in 2007. DeLuna began pursuing a career as a singer when she was a teenager. If her prediction about the changing music scene is right, she'll have a lot of people to mentor very, very soon.Kathleen Emperatriz DeLuna (born November 26, 1987) is a Dominican-American singer, songwriter and dancer. 'It's a big responsibility, but I have to do the right thing.' 'I represent all the girls who have had limitations growing up,' DeLuna says, and she believes her actions will set the example for whoever follows in her footsteps. DeLuna said she feels honored by the opportunity to represent that foundation, given the boundaries that she has surpassed on her way up the ladder. The show is a benefit to support She's the First, a foundation that supports education for young Tanzanian girls. The Girls Who Rock show is especially important for DeLuna, who is the first Dominican singer to achieve worldwide success in the English language. First up is a headlining spot at the Girls Who Rock concert at Santos Party House Saturday, and after that, she'll perform atop the New York Daily News float at the Puerto Rican Day Parade on Sunday. With 'Inside Out' still in the works (DeLuna is shooting for a fall release) and a tour in the early planning stages, DeLuna is focusing on her two gigs this weekend. 'To have so many people supporting me is amazing.' 'I'm still climbing the stairs,' DeLuna says.
