CAREER

2013-2017: Career beginnings and "Traicionera"

It did not take long for Yatra to find success after leaving college and in September 2013, his single "El psicólogo" was released, charting in Columbia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Mexico and the United States. This led to support slots with Paty Cantú on her Drama Queen Tour and with Sandoval Sandoval in her Deja Que La Vida Te Sorprenda Tour. "Todo Lo Que Siento", his follow-up, also saw some success, but it was his third single, "Para olvidar", that became a big hit in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, and again in the States. 2015 saw the release of two more successful singles for Yatra: "No me llames" featuring Alkilados and "Cómo Mirarte".

His single "Traicionera" was released in 2016 and reached number one in Columbia, where it was certified double-platinum. It also reached the top five in Argentina, Ecuador, and Spain, as well as reaching the top 30 on the Billboard Latin and Latin Pop charts. Yatra's 2017 collaboration with fellow Colombian singer Carlos Vives entitled "Robarte Un Beso" won an ASCAP award the following year.
