Kidd Voodoo shares his experience of being on the panel for Viña Del Mar, how he went from making rock music to reggaeton, why he chose Kidd Voodoo as his stage name, his feelings about Chilean music starting to spread, defining Chilean slang and more!
Leila Cobo:David, welcome to Billboard!
Kidd Voodoo:Thank you.
Well, for the people that don’t know, David is Kidd Voodoo. So here in Chile, you guys know him by his artistic name, Kidd Voodoo. He’s one of the biggest trap rappers in Chile at this moment, but his real name is David León. In other words, why Kidd Voodoo?
Because I needed to start releasing music and I wanted to give myself a name. In that moment in Chile, it was really trendy to put a prefix like it was in the United States, putting “Lil” or “Kid,” too. So I preferred to put “Kid” because there were a couple of artists that I really liked that had it and I needed to upload the song in that moment because I had already announced it.
So you didn’t have a lot of time to think about this?
No, I thought about it a lot, but I said, “If I never get this song out, I’m never going to start this.” So I said, “OK let’s go through with this,” and I looked at the pedals of the guitar and someone said, “Kidd Voodoo — it doesn’t sound too bad.”
So because of a guitar pedal that had nothing to do with rap, truthfully–
Exactly.
Well, it was a song about what? Was it rock, or was it rap?
Rap. It was a rap song, trap. Yep, and from there the name stuck and now I’m here.

It’s almost Global Day of Unplugging, and in honor of it, Mustard, Lucky Daye, Lil Mosey and more shared how they take a break from their screens to reconnect.
Starting at sundown and lasting for the next 24 hours, take a moment — whether it’s a minute, an hour, or the full day — to unplug and be present.
How do you unplug? Let us know in the comments!
Rania Aniftos:You’re always plugged in, always locked in. What do you do to unplug?
Lucky Daye:I’ll travel or it’s really tough for me to unplug first of all, but I’ll break something just to put it back together.
Julia Michaels:Things I do to unplug? Oh, I love the sun. Love to be in the grass. I love a drive.
Tetris Kelly:There we go.
Julia Michaels:Love a long drive.
Lil Mosey:It’s hard to unplug. I was just saying last night. Right when you see a video on any Instagram, TikTok, you’re stuck in there for a whole hour just going.
Rania Aniftos:Going down the rabbit hole with the weirdest stuff, too.
Lil Mosey:You just gotta throw your phone out the window or something. Just call it a day.
Tetris Kelly:For the people that might be at home right now feeling like I don’t know what to do. I’m tired of scrolling through Twitter or X. What advice do you have to them?
Green Day:Take a break, stay off of social media for a while. I think one of the worst things in the world is the anxiety that we all feel collectively, and I think it has a lot to do with social media freaking us out even more, and then all of a sudden, you just realize you go and you hang out with a friend and you just make those connections that you’re supposed to make.
