Love Canafuego is just 12 years old but she’s wanted to sing and perform since she was a small child.

“Ever since she was little she has been showing signs that she really wants to sing and she’s not afraid,” says her father. “We’ll go outside and she’ll carry milk cartons shaped like microphones and she will do her thing.”

Love’s not just playing around these days, though. Along with her brother, Joyful, and parents David and Nancy, the young singer is releasing music and tackling some real-world problems in the process.

She’s released two songs already: “Champ of Wealth” and “Inflation Comes With Destruction.” And David says the family has at least 20 more to release in the future if Love gets her big break.

“It’s all about the cash / It’s all about the cash / King cash, yeah,” she sings on “Champ of Wealth.” She refers to money as “the only king without the crown” and says in the song: “We can’t take it with us when we are dead … We come in with nothing / We’ll go out with nothing.”

“The song is about governments around the world and their peoples, their systems, and the back-and-forth between them,” Love says. “The way we love is all about cash money, and cash money is about everything.”

“‘Inflation Comes With Destruction’ is also reality,” David says. “The world, not just the United States but in every country that particular topic is at the top. All of our songs are very unique but we would like to bring our songs to the world and get them to hear what we compose.”

The family’s songwriting process takes inspiration from Ryan Seacrest, who David describes as a “driving force” behind their music. They listen to his radio shows each week looking for ideas and everyone in the family weighs in when it’s time to put together a new song.

“This is a family composition,” David says. “We all put in our two cents.”

The family’s unreleased music is a tightly held secret by David. Even Love says she’s not sure yet what they’ll sound like.

“They’re really good,” David says. “Every one of them. We have those two songs out there and people can judge for themselves. Those songs can really get people to move.”

The new tracks still have the same reality-based messages, he says. At least one of them urges the world to “be out there loving each other, not bringing each other down.”

If the music keeps catching on and the industry takes notice, Love says she wants to sign with a record label “so I can feed the poor and buy myself cute things.”

She plans to promote a TikTok account in January when she turns 13 and thinks it will be a big avenue for fans to support her music.

In the meantime she’s going to keep rapping and singing with her brother and taking in as much music with her family as she can.

“I like all artists, all singers,” she says. “I love them all.”
