A New Leader in Latin Trap: The Rise of Erios

Born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, and raised in Carolina, Guillermo Xavier Hernández Rios, better known as Erios, is emerging as a notable artist in the Latin music scene. From an early age, music was his passion. Growing up surrounded by the industry, he sharpened his skills not just as a performer, but as a songwriter and producer, crafting music that seeks to speak to the soul of the streets.

His lyrical prowess and ability to translate emotions into raw, powerful verses quickly helped him gain recognition. In an industry filled with voices, Erios has been working to establish himself as one that truly resonates. He has collaborated with some of the most influential names in Latin music, including Young Miko, Neutro Shorty, Alvarito Díaz, Brray, and Dei V, reinforcing his presence among the new generation of Latin trap artists.

One of his biggest career moments came when he was the only emerging artist featured on Brray’s album with the song “Nada Formal”—a track that instantly connected with fans and signified his arrival in the industry.
