After Calle 13 confirmed a temporary break, band members were quick to jump on their solo projects. One we’re highly looking forward to is that of Ileana Cabra Joglar, the group’s powerhouse vocalist.

Ileana a.k.a PG-13, who just so happens to be the little sister of both Rene Perez Joglar (Residente) and Eduardo Cabra Martinez (Visitante), is now kicking off her solo career —how freaking awesome is that?

The 26-year-old Puerto Rican songstress dropped the news via her Twitter page, where she wrote: “I want to announce that I’m working on what will be my first album. Soon I’ll let you know more 🙂 #Ilevitable.”

Calle 13 are: Visitante, left, Residente, center, PG-13, right.

She also unveiled her official website link and YouTube channel, where she’s already teased fans with a 40-second video clip of what’s to come.

“When I sing and interpret a song, I try to reach that special place within a song. Then, little by little, I let myself fit into the music,” she says in the clip.

We’re not only ones ecstatic with Ile’s huge news. Many artists, including her big brother Residente and Uruguayan trova singer Jorge Drexler, have showed their support.

Calle 13 confirmed a temporary split after 10 years in the biz with five critically-acclaimed studio albums, 21 Latin Grammys and three Grammys. They gave their last concert together in Toronto, Canada ending July.
