"Thank you so much for believing in me. I also want to thank all my fans, the Balovers, as this accomplishment is also theirs, because without them none of this would be possible.

About La Bala

Isabella de la Torre was born on July 19, 2004 in Mexico City. From the time, she was very young she loved the arts: dancing, writing, singing and drawing. At the age of seven, she began to take violin lessons and from that moment, her love for musical instruments arose. Today she plays piano, guitar, ukulele and is currently learning to play the drums.

In September 2015, with the support of her parents, she launched her YouTube channel with the sole aim of making people laugh. “Bella,” as she is lovingly referred to by her family, decides to name her channel “La Bala” (the bullet), as her parents would often say that she was “as fast as a bullet” in all aspects of her life.

It was not long before the launch of La Bala’s YouTube channel, that her authentic and fun personality won the hearts of the digital audience, reaching nearly 6 million followers on her YouTube channel and 2 million on Instagram. What is most important for her are her followers, which are known as "Balovers", and she claims “together with them, we are a team.” She works hard every day making her videos to get a smile and a laugh from her fans. Above all, she is thankful that they give her one of the most valuable things: their time.

La Bala dreams of being a singer and songwriter and already has four music videos on her YouTube channel. Her first single Mi Momento (My moment), currently has more than 30 million views.
