Lizette Anabelle Gutierrez (born 1987/88) is a songwriter and musician. [2] She performs traditional Mexican ranchera music under the name San Cha, a combination of " Saint" and " mistress". [2]
Gutierrez started playing the flute at age 10 and played her first guitar when she was 13. [1] She left the Bay Area due to financial hardships and moved to her aunt's home in Jalisco, Mexico. [3] In Mexico, she found inspiration and developed one of her first albums, Me Demandó - DEMOS in 2016. [1] Later, she wrote La Luz de la Esperanza which combines queer club jams with the ranchera style. [4]
From her experiences living in the Bay Area to moving to a much simpler life with her aunt in Mexico, her collective experiences have prompted her to release another album titled Capricho Del Diablo, which speaks out on oppression towards minorities and a personal story of how she almost got taken advantage of by her mentor. [3] This inspired her to create a more rebellious and softer version of the ranchera style based on the telenovelas she watched in her childhood. [4] In 2019, the Red Bull Music Academy scouted her to perform at the Los Angeles music festival. [2] During performances, she often wears clothes created by the artist Olima with colorful feathers and flowers. [4]
