Career

Flores began studying Quechua at the age of 13, and, growing in fluency, continued to do so at university. She translated "The Way You Make Me Feel" with help from Ada, her 72-year-old grandmother. In 2014, she participated in "The Voice Kids Peru", a Peruvian talent show. She went on to release several original trap songs in her ancestral language of Quechua, the lyrics often addressing issues faced by indigenous communities in Peru.
In March 2021, Flores released her first album, Isqun, largely in Quechua. She also appeared in adverts for a perfume brand. In 2024, she acted in the drama film Tattoos in Memory directed by Luis Llosa. In August 2024, she presented a quechua version of "Aguita del Equilibiro" with Alejandro y María Laura.
