El Padrinito Toys
Real name Samuel Ibarra Aispuro. Born August 9, 2006 in Mesa, Arizona, with family roots in Mexico. A Mexican-American singer-songwriter at the forefront of corridos tumbados, he first built a following on social media as part of the 'Los Toys' content collective led by Markitos Toys. At 13 he moved with his family to Culiacán, Sinaloa.
In 2022 he turned his focus to music with the debut single 'El Chamán' alongside Aldo Trujillo and Legión RG, breaking through after an early leak. His collaboration 'Los Collares' with Óscar Maydon has surpassed 299 million streams on Spotify, and he has been featured on more than 30 singles across the Regional Mexican scene.
Beyond music, at 15 he became a Babalawo priest in the Yoruba religion — the source of his 'Padrinito' nickname. He is currently signed to Interscope Records.
