NES
the architect behind Latin music's biggest moments
Self-taught and visionary, Joaquín Nicolás Rodríguez Vergara — known everywhere as NES — was born in Villarrica, Chile, and didn't wait for anyone to open the door. He built the door himself. In a few relentless years, he's stacked over 281 production credits and 150+ singles, working with some of the most impactful names in the Latin scene: Cris MJ, Kendo Kaponi, Marcianeke, Fumaratto, Pablo Chill-e, and Alemán, among many others. NES doesn't just make beats — he engineers cultural moments that travel.
The numbers tell part of the story: 4.1 billion streams across platforms, 3.4 million Shazams, 2.2 billion views and shares on TikTok and Instagram. His production on "Si No Es Contigo" by Cris MJ earned him an ASCAP Award in 2025 and crossed 550 million streams. "Daytona" hit 315 million. "Cabaña" hit 250 million. Platinum and gold records stack up — Avísame, Cabaña, Loud, Loca Faranduleras, and more. The catalog keeps growing, and so does the reach. When NES says music is a young man's game, believe it.
