Where Bad Gyal and La Zowi once walked, Metrika runs. The 22 year old from Castellón - a city that rarely makes headlines, let alone headliners - might be the most provocative and inventive artist yet to emerge from a Spanish trap and reggaeton scene in constant evolution.
With an aesthetic that’s part Barbie, part vampire - despite (or maybe because of) her Catholic upbringing, she now identifies as a Satanist - she’s got more than just shock value. Disgusted by the machismo she encountered early in her career during trap freestyle battles, she explores the modern female experience in stark detail. Lyrically, she’s blunt and direct, a brutally honest chronicler of her own sexuality, heartbreaks, and struggles with mental health. Working mainly with preferred producer D Basto (although she’s hit up Merca Bae and Parkineos for tracks), her music echoes that rawness: splashing bloody romanticism and gothic darkness all over reggaeton and trap beats.
She comes to Sónar 2026 at the height of her powers, hot off the release of latest mixtape Jane Doe in the dream house, which followed the “Metriología” (2024’s Madre Fundadora and El Grimorio, plus 2025 release Neofita). Her first release on a major label, it shows no sign of her taming down her act. Prepare yourself, because who knows what she’s planning for her Sónar debut.
