Virlan Garcia is a singer, guitarist, and composer in the Mexican regional genre, specializing in norteño, corridos, and bandas.

Early Life
Virlán García was born in Guasave, Sinaloa on July 28, 1997. However, the Mexican singer grew up in Tijuana, Baja California and currently resides in San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora. Virlán García started his solo career in 2015. The first singles he released were "Who understands you?", "This has to last" and "That you're already fed up". These songs were his letter of introduction with which he managed to gain notoriety in his native country. Virlan was at the age of two when he first sang La Palomita and dedicated the song over the phone to his mother, Virginia Garcia Roj. He still remembers the cooking of his mother and his favorite dish, ranch steak with rice and beans. Whenever the musician goes back to his family home of Sinaloa, he asks his mother to cook his favorite meal.

His mother Virginia, who was born on 23 May 1974, hails from Ruiz Cortines in Sinaloa, Mexico. Virlan has two sisters named Andrea Baez and Dayana Baez who are of American origin in the city of Santa Barbara.

Personal Life
Virlan and current girlfriend, Fernanda Esquer, have a daughter named Irlanda Garcia (born in 2017). In one of the YouTube videos published by 'Musica ExclusivaTv' in February 2017, Virlan featured with Fernanda and daughter Irlanda. Virlan often shares the picture with the mother of his child on social networking sites.

Carrer
Virlán García started his solo career in 2015. The first singles he released were "Who understands you?", "This has to last" and "That you're already fed up". These songs were his letter of introduction with which he managed to gain notoriety in his native country. Garcia comes from Sinaloa and he has written for a number of artists, including Gerardo Ortiz, who chose his "Fuego Cruzado" to open his smash Hoy Más Fuerte album. Garcia's own music follows the sierreño(trio) format. He plays rhythm guitar and is accompanied by Carlos Gomez on 12-string (lead) guitar and Edgar Salazar on tuba. His debut single, "Que Ya Estas Harta," was issued digitally in the spring of 2015 and landed on various regional Mexican song charts. He placed several songs on year-end "best corridos" compilations from a variety of labels. In February of the following year, he independently (and unusually) released two full-length albums, Pobre o Criminal, which included the oft-covered single "Quién Te Entiende," and Yi Cambio Mi Suerte, featuring the popular YouTube video single "Ivan Archivaldo."
