2022 brought multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and music composer Sebastián Yatra. His biggest year yet, filled with notable accolades and career highlights; Billboard aptly reported, “Sebastián Yatra has been on a winning streak” and NPR ‘Weekend Edition’ continued, “Sebastian Yatra can kind of do it all." 
With two Latin Grammy wins (for his album ‘Dharma’ and his single “Tacones Rojos”).
Plus an American Music Award; a Grammy nomination, a People’s Choice Award nomination, an Academy Awards performance of his Oscar-nominated song; a new Oscar-shortlisted duet with Rita Wilson for Tom Hank’s Oscar-contender film, ‘A Man Called Otto;’  and if that’s not all, a packed-house 78 city Dharma world tour which wrapped this month and took the Colombian-American’s performance demand around the world to new heights 
“This has been a very beautiful year in my life” Yatra tells

“Because it's been a reflection of what I've been feeling inside and my internal growth. Life has given me a lot of presents, things like my first Grammy nomination, performing at the Oscars, and meeting wonderful people, but also being able to give back. It's all part of something I see as a miracle, life in general is. What's happening is special and I'm very grateful for it.”

 

Yatra’s year began with the release of his multi-platinum album “Dharma.” The genre-bending album debuted at #1 on the Spotify Global Debut Chart (with +3.9 Billion streams at release & 9.9 Billion streams to date) and features 3 Top 50 Global singles, “Tacones Rojos” (8x platinum), “Pareja del Año,” “Chica Ideal” (4x platinum).
The album was highlighted with late-night television performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Tonight Show. During the height of its success, the album was followed with a release of a deluxe edition, “Dharma+.” Yatra closes out the year as a Top 100 most streamed artist with 30 billion streams on Spotify and more than 26 million monthly listeners. 
“Dharma” led the 13x Latin Grammys nominee to his first Latin Grammy wins with “Best Pop Vocal Album” and “Best Pop Vocal Song” for “Tacones Rojos,” performed that evening alongside John Legend – watch here! These wins were followed by Yatra’s first Grammy award nomination for “Best Latin Pop Album.”
Yatra was also nominated for his first People’s Choice Award as part of the “Top Latin Artist” category. “Only Sebastián Yatra can pack a 17-track album with rock, cumbia, reggaetón…. Dharma, is a versatile record that’s sure to bring fans to their feet,” Rolling Stone affirmed.
Billboard continued, “Colombian singer-songwriter Sebastián Yatra positions third studio album Dharma as a satisfying deep dive into his artistry and point of view....across 17 tracks, Yatra takes chances with his brand of Latin pop, from the emotional balladry of “Tarde” to the sun-kissed dance of “Tacones Rojos” to the riotous pop-punk of “Las Dudas,” and comes across as a natural star within all of them.”
The successful Dharma album was brought to life on his first-ever arena tour. The  Dharma World Tour, which kicked off in February 2022 and wrapped December 2022, reached hundreds of thousands of fans across 78 shows in mostly packed venues in Latin America, Spain, Mexico, the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. The tour ended with a sentimental surprise this weekend from Yatra’s touring crew, as while celebrating the final moments of the tour.
The Dharma tour saw the multi-instrumentalist sing, dance, play piano, guitar, and perform fan-adored dance moves to fan-favorites. A live review of Sebastián Yatra’s Dharma tour in North America reached the cover of USA Today the week of Queen Elizabeth’s death, “Yatra follows his heart to global stardom.” The Los Angeles Times review of the 90-minute show, “Yatra knew how to reach the hearts of young people and their families from the Inglewood theater stage." E! News added,“When planning the Dharma World Tour, the 28-year-old singer wanted to be involved with the entire process. Between collaborating with the band, choreographers, dancers and stylists, Sebastián spent hours behind the scenes making sure everything was perfect. Now, fans around the world are going to see the hard work pay off.” 
If that’s not all, Yatra’s moving ballad “Dos Oruguitas” from Disney’s Encanto received an Academy Award nomination for “Best Original Song.”It was the first Spanish-language Disney song syndicated to all global versions of a Disney animated film, and with Yatra’s live performance, later became the first song performed in Spanish at the 2022 Academy Awards – watch here. The song landed Yatra to his first American Music Award for “Favorite Latin Male Song.” The song was also nominated at the Golden Globes Awards and Critics Choice Film Awards, honoring the original work by acclaimed composer Lin-Manuel Miranda.
