Who is Mariana Espósito?

Mariana "Lali" Espósito, known simply as Lali as a music artist, is an Argentine actress, singer, model and businesswoman. Espósito began her career as a child actress in 2003 when she joined the cast of the children's telenovela Rincón de Luz, created by producer Cris Morena. She had other subsequent supporting roles in telenovelas Chiquititas and Floricienta and a main role in Casi Ángeles, all of them created by Morena; the latter rocketed her fame in Latin America, Europe and Israel.

From 2007 to 2012, Espósito was part of the teen pop band TeenAngels, which originated from Casi Ángeles, along with four other cast members. The group was commercially successful internationally, and toured throughout Argentina and countries like Israel, Spain, Chile and Uruguay. Espósito also lent her vocals in the soundtracks of Rincón de Luz, Floricienta and Chiquititas. In 2013, she announced the release of Lali, her debut solo album, with an EDM sound. "A bailar" was released as the album's lead single; it went on to chart within the top 20 on iTunes charts in Argentina and Israel, while its music video has broken record views on YouTube.

Following her role in the unsuccessful 2011 telenovela Cuando me sonreís and her portrayal of Abigail Williams in the Buenos Aires production of The Crucible, Espósito made her film debut in La pelea de mi vida in 2012, starring alongside Mariano Martínez and Federico Amador. Since January 2013, she stars in the television comedy Solamente Vos as the daughter of Adrián Suar.
