Life

Morelo has said that she began to study music at age 7 and learned how to sing and accompany herself on the guitar at age 9. Her grandfather played the bandoneon and performed in a tango orchestra. Before dedicating herself to music, Morelo worked as sales clerk in a clothing store and a supermarket cashier.

In 2014, Morelo married her partner of 17 years, musician and producer Rodolfo Lugo. The couple later adopted three children.

Career

In 1997, she released her debut album, Manantial, featuring a collection of songs she had written. Several singles released from the album, including "La fuerza del engaño" ("The Power of Deceit") and "Corazón salvaje" ("Wild Heart") were chart hits not only in Argentina but in Europe and Latin America. The album was awarded a Gold Record after three months, and it eventually sold enough copies to receive a Platinum Record.

Further releases by Morelo, including Eclipse, Tu boca (Your mouth), and Invisible, met with acclaim.

Morelo collaborated with Celia Cruz, Chichi Peralta, and Franco De Vita on a holiday-themed song, "Fuerte Navidad" ("Strong Christmas"). She recorded a duet with Miliki on his album "A mis niños de 30" ("To my children at 30"), entitled "Susanita" ("Susie", popular Spanish song for children). To aid in the fight against breast cancer, Morelo along with Rocío Dúrcal, Rosario, Ana Torroja and others recorded an album entitled Mujer (Woman).

In 2017, Morelo released a "best of" compilation, Los 20 de Morelo, which included a new song, "No voy a cambiarte", a duet with Mexican performer, Carlos Rivera.

In 2019, Morelo released the single "La salida", a duet with Spanish performer, Rozalén. To promote the single, Morelo and Rozalén performed the song at Buenos Aires' famed Teatro Colón.
