Ten years ago, the idea of a regional Mexican group playing baseball stadiums in the United States sounded like science fiction. Fuerza Regida did it in the summer of 2026 with its This Is Our Dream tour, and in October it will receive the Premio Billboard Vanguardia. This is the biography of Fuerza Regida: who its members are, how JOP's group was born in San Bernardino, which albums made it big and where it stands today.

Who is Fuerza Regida?

Fuerza Regida is a regional Mexican music group formed in San Bernardino, California, and led by the vocalist and songwriter Jesús Ortiz Paz, known as JOP. It is associated with the corridos tumbados movement, which mixes norteño and sierreño with urban and hip hop influences. In 2026 it headlines a stadium tour in the United States.

Fuerza Regida's origins and formation

The group was born in San Bernardino, a city in the Californian Inland Empire. According to Telemundo and LaMezcla, it was formed in 2015 in that city.

The current line-up is this one:

Jesús Ortiz Paz (JOP): lead voice, leader and songwriter.
Samuel Jaimez: strings (the press describes him as guitarist or requinto player).
Khrystian Ramos: strings (rhythm guitar or harmony, depending on the source).
José García: tuba.
Moisés López: tololoche.

The sources do not agree on the exact instrument of Jaimez and Ramos, so we do not specify it. At Famosix we see it this way: the tuba and the tololoche, instruments many associate with banda music and norteño, are a central part of their identity.

Fuerza Regida's career and path

Its debut album, Del barrio hasta aquí, came out on July 4, 2019. Since then the group has released albums almost every year. Its recent releases come out with Street Mob, Rancho Humilde and Sony Music Latin, according to Billboard.

Verified milestones:

2019: it debuts with Del barrio hasta aquí.
2023: it wins at the Billboard Music Awards the prizes for Best duo or group and for Best Latin duo or group.
2024: it repeats both prizes at the Billboard Music Awards.
2025: 111xpantia, released on May 2, debuts at number 2 on the Billboard 200 and at number 1 on Regional Mexican Albums.

2025: first Grammy nomination, for Mala Mía, with Grupo Frontera, at the 2026 Grammys.

They have also received the iHeartRadio award for Best regional Mexican album and the American Music Award for Favourite Latin duo or group, and they were the first Mexican music act nominated for Album of the year at the American Music Awards, according to LaMezcla.

According to Pollstar, after the first eight dates the tour had taken 47,198,246 dollars and sold 330,228 tickets, partial figures that did not include the closing night in New York.

Awards and recognitions

At the Billboard Music Awards, the group won in 2023 and in 2024 both Best duo or group and Best Latin duo or group. In 2025 it received its first Latin Grammy nomination, for "Me Jalo".

In addition, Billboard announced that it will receive the Premio Billboard Vanguardia, in recognition of a career of innovation that widened the borders of Mexican music. At the 2026 Grammys it was nominated for Mala Mía, but Grammy.com does not record wins for the group.
