From an early age, Joaquina showed an interest in and a talent for music. She studied piano, singing, and guitar. At age eight, she was writing songs, and by age twelve, she had decided to become a singer-songwriter.

At fifteen, Joaquina recorded her first songs. She began sharing her music on streaming platforms.

At seventeen, she was invited to participate in the academic program at the Art House Academy and the Abbey Road Institute by Maestro Julio Reyes Copello. She also signed her first record deal with Universal Music Latino.[5]

She graduated from the Art House Academy & Abbey Road Institute in Miami in October 2022.[6][7]

Joaquina won the Latin Grammy for Best New Artist at the 24th Annual Latin Grammy Awards,[8][9][10][11] where she also received a nomination for Best Singer-Songwriter Album,[12] making her the youngest artist to receive this nomination.
