ERIKA ENDER RECEIVES A 2018 GRAMMY NOMINATION
FOR SONG OF THE YEAR FOR "DESPACITO"

Ender is the only Hispanic female songwriter ever to be nominated for a GRAMMY in the Song of the Year category for a song mostly in Spanish.

Erika Ender recently became the youngest person ever to be inducted into the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame last night at the fifth annual La Musa Awards, in recognition of her 25-year career including 40 singles charting in the top positions and songs on more than 160 albums as well as having received most important awards and recognitions.

A hit-maker whose songs have global appeal, Ender has a unique musical versatility that has established her as one of the most successful composers in the Latin music industry; also renown as a singer-songwriter, producer and Latin American television personality as part of her 25 year professional career. Ender, who writes in Spanish, Portuguese and English, naturally crosses from one genre and language to another.  She has written important hit songs for such distinguished stars as: Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, Justin Bieber, Tigres del Norte, Chayanne, Gloria Trevi, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Leonardo (Brazil), Ednita Nazario, Víctor Manuelle, Milly Quezada, Mijares, Lupita D'Alessio, HaAsh, Luis Enrique, Malú, Azúcar Moreno, among more than a hundred others. 

Ender is now tied with Mariah Carey as the female songwriter with the longest-running #1 hit of all time, "Despacito". She's now also the first female songwriter to have a Spanish-language song top Billboard's "Hot 100" chart. In October, Ender will be inducted into the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame, where she stands out as the only woman in her category, and the youngest songwriter in the history to ever be inducted.

Her songs are included in more than 160 albums. At least 40 singles penned by Ender, have reached the top of the charts throughout the world!

Ender has been the winner of the industry's most important awards, including the Latin GRAMMY, Latin Billboard, Monitor Latino, SESAC, ASCAP, among other awards and nominations.
