Samantha Hudson is a Spanish singer, performer, and multimedia artist known for her striking fusion of electro-pop sounds, provocative lyrics, and irreverent social commentary. Born Iván González Ranedo in 1999 in León, she became a cult figure after her viral hit “Maricón” at just 15, a satirical anthem about LGBTQ+ identity and Catholicism that sparked controversy and established her as a fearless voice in Spanish pop culture. Over the years, Hudson has cultivated an aesthetic that fuses queer iconography with postmodern camp, performing across Spain’s most important nightclubs, festivals, and television shows.

Her discography includes genre-defying projects such as “Liquidación Total” and “AOVE Black Label,” which blend humor, activism, and pop experimentation. Beyond music, Hudson engages in DJing, activism, and performance art, and is recognized for using her platform to challenge social norms, gender roles, and institutional hypocrisy with wit and intelligence. Her bold persona, wit, and commitment to visibility have turned her into a generational spokesperson for Spain’s queer community and a standout figure in the country’s contemporary art and music scene.
