Roberto Tapia was born in San Diego, Calif., on March 3, 1981. Although his parents relocated to Mexico shortly after he was born, Tapia returned to the United States with his family when he was 13. This resulted in his youth being spent between Culiacán in Sinaloa, Mexico and California. This duality of Roberto Tapia's youth is reflected in his musical style. While in Mexico, Tapia attended a music school where part of his artistic upbringing was performing with the Symphony of Sinaloa. It was during these years that Tapia learned guitar and percussion. His return to the United States found Tapia performing at receptions, dance halls and local concert venues. Tapia's first brush with professional musicianship came at the age of 17 when he played a show in Tijuana, Mexico with El Lobito de Sinaloa. This was enough for Tapia to get his foot in the door and sign with Sony International. His musical journey has brought Tapia from a child playing local receptions to a celebrated performer sharing his own experiences on the show
La Voz Kids
, the Mexican version of
The Voice
for kids. As a coach on the show, a role he cherishes greatly, Roberto Tapia talks about his time as a struggling artist early in his life.
