Question 1

Does Junior H write his own songs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. He and a friend began writing lyrics at the age of 12, years before either of them could play an instrument, and he was still writing alone when he uploaded the first Junior H songs to YouTube. His writing carries over to other artists' records too: he wrote "Ella", the song Natanael Cano cut for Corridos Tumbados, by himself. On $ad Boyz 4 Life II, the solo album with no guest features, the track listing credits Antonio Herrera Perez as the writer of most of its songs, including "Serpiente", "Mientele", "Las Noches", "Miles de Rosas", "Piensalo" and "Mientras Duermes", and lists him as a producer next to Jimmy Humilde and Ernesto Fernandez. The songs he does not write himself go to a small circle around him rather than to outside writers, chiefly Gael Leonardo Iniguez Valenzuela, with Daniel Candia, Jorge Jimenez Sanchez and Gabriel Ballesteros Abril also credited on that album.

Question 2

When did Junior H start writing lyrics?

Accepted Answer

At 12. He has said he and one of his friends started writing lyrics then because they did not know how to play instruments yet. The playing came later, at 17, when he taught himself the accordion and the guitar from YouTube videos while working as a cook at a Wendy's.

Question 3

How do writing credits work on his corridos tumbados records?

Accepted Answer

Credit sits with individual named writers song by song, not with the performer as a whole. The published track listing for $ad Boyz 4 Life II shows the pattern: some songs are credited to Herrera Perez alone, others to Gael Leonardo Iniguez Valenzuela, and a few, such as "$ad Boyz II" and "En La Peda", to two writers together. A Junior H album is a mix of his own writing and writing brought in by people he works with every day.

Question 4

Who writes the songs on his albums that he did not write himself?

Accepted Answer

Gael Leonardo Iniguez Valenzuela is the main one. He is credited on "Rockstar", "La Cherry", "Y Lloro", "Tres Botellas", "A Tu Nombre" and more of $ad Boyz 4 Life II, and the two of them went on to release the collaborative album DEP

Question 5

Does Junior H produce his own music?

Accepted Answer

He is credited as one of the producers of $ad Boyz 4 Life II, under his legal name Antonio Herrera Perez, alongside Jimmy Humilde and Ernesto Fernandez. Spanish-language coverage describes him as a producer and multi-instrumentalist as well as a singer and lyricist.

Question 6

Who are Junior H's regular collaborators?

Accepted Answer

Natanael Cano first, from the Rancho Humilde years and "Disfruto Lo Malo" onward. Peso Pluma became the other constant after "El Azul" in 2023, with "El Tsurito", "Lady Gaga", "Luna", "Bipolar", "A Tu Manera" and "La Durango" following. Oscar Maydon, Gabito Ballesteros, Ovi, Grupo Marca Registrada and Grupo Firme all recur across his singles.

Question 7

Did Junior H write "Ella" for Natanael Cano?

Accepted Answer

Yes. "Ella" appears on Cano's Corridos Tumbados and was written by Herrera himself. The two met at Rancho Humilde after Jimmy Humilde signed him in 2019, and their first joint single was "Disfruto Lo Malo" from the same album.

Question 8

What does Junior H write about?

Accepted Answer

Relationships, mostly the breaking of them. That sad-leaning strain of the music gets called urban sierreno or sad sierreno, a style traced back to Ariel Camacho. One exception is "1004 Kilometros" from $ad Boyz 4 Life, written for his mother, who lived 1004 kilometers away from him at the time.

Question 9

Which of his best-known songs are not on his own albums?

Accepted Answer

Several of the biggest ones. "El Azul" is a Peso Pluma single, and "Lady Gaga" and "Luna" belong to Peso Pluma's album Genesis. "Picardia" is on Rauw Alejandro's Playa Saturno, "En Altavoz" on Grupo Frontera's El Comienzo, and "Fin de Semana" with Oscar Maydon, "El Hijo Mayor" and "Vamos Para Arriba" are non-album singles.

Question 10

How did Junior H get signed?

Accepted Answer

He put his own songs on YouTube under the name Junior H without telling anyone, and only checked back a month later, when "No Eh Cambiado" had passed two million views. Jimmy Humilde reached him in 2019 and brought him to Rancho Humilde; from Cruisin' with Junior H onward his albums came out through Warner Music Latina with the label.
