Mariana Yegros was born in Morón, in Buenos Aires Province. Daughter of Aníbal Yegros and Pily Jara, she discovered her passion in music while being very young.

Her influences come from her family origins. Her father listened to chamamé, which is traditional folk music from the north of Argentina, and her mother listened to cumbia. Later in life she explored music from India and Africa which inspired her to mix music styles.
