The music of Shakira's children

Shakira's boys make their musical debut with ‘The One’

Shakira’s sons, Milan and Sasha, have taken their first steps into the music world with their debut song 'The One' — released in Miami.

Choosing music over football?

Though their father, Gerard Piqué, is a famous former professional footballer (best known for his long career at FC Barcelona and Spain’s national team), the young boys seem to be leaning more toward singing and music.

Enrolled in a music academy

According to Glamour México, Milan and Sasha are students at Let It Beat music academy—an institution created to support the careers of young talents. It was through this academy that they launched their first song, featuring a group of fellow young artists.

Their song

'The One' is part of the collective album Next Generation of Artists, produced by the Let It Beat! Music Academy foundation. The initiative aims to showcase emerging young voices.

Young talents

Caras magazine reports that the album includes young artists from around the world, including Shakira’s sons. Shakira attended the Miami debut performance of 'The One,' coinciding with Mother’s Day.

A proud and emotional mom

Of course, Shakira was visibly moved as she applauded her sons’ live performance—a deeply emotional moment for the singer.

A very special musical project

The event was the launch of the album 'All For You,' produced by Guillermo Vadalá and Nerina Nicotra, under the Sony Music Latin lable. The album is part of the Next Generation of Artists program, which promotes young musical talents between 10 and 20 years old.

Music in their DNA

It’s becoming clear that Milan and Sasha are easing into a world their mother knows well. With Shakira as their mentor—and one of pop music’s most globally celebrated stars—it’s no surprise they’re finding their rhythm early on.

They’ve sung with Shakira before

The boys made their musical debut on “Acróstico,” a deeply personal ballad Shakira released after her high-profile split from retired soccer star Gerard Piqué. The song, written in the wake of heartbreak, featured her children in both lyrics and vocals.

Overcoming a tough time for the family

Shakira and Gerard Piqué—once one of the most high-profile couples in the celebrity world—split in 2022 after over a decade together. The breakup followed reports of infidelity, and their separation played out under intense public scrutiny. Through it all, Shakira has channeled her emotions into music and focused fiercely on her sons.

Now forging their own path

With this new release, Milan and Sasha are stepping into the spotlight on their own terms, showing just how much talent and training they’ve already cultivated.
