Svani Quintanilla is making waves as an emerging star in the music industry. Hailing from a musically gifted family, he continues the legacy set by his father and his legendary late aunt.
A talented musician, Svani Quintanilla is deeply connected to his family's musical heritage. His journey in the entertainment industry involved breaking away from the traditional ways of learning the craft.
Svani is not only dedicated to his music, but he is also a family-oriented individual who displays a deep commitment to fatherhood for his beloved daughter.

Svani is following in the footsteps of his father, acclaimed record producer and songwriter A.B. Quintanilla, and his late aunt, iconic singer Selena. A.B.'s son is making a name for himself in the industry.
Known by the stage name Principe Q, Svani is a DJ and record producer from Corpus Christi, Texas. A member of the Kumbia All Starz, his musical prowess is evident in various productions, with notable songs such as "SurNorte" and "Tequila."
Svani studied audio engineering at The Art Institute of Austin but left before finishing the degree, preferring hands-on learning over traditional schooling. He felt it wasn't the right fit for him. He added:
"That's kind of why [the] school didn't work out for me either like I just have a problem with, I guess, like being told what to do."
Being part of a band in middle school became his introduction to making music. He wanted to continue what his father and late aunt started with cumbia, a style of Latin music.
Adding to his professional roles, Svani is a doting dad to his daughter, Yvie.
Before taking the stage name Principe Q, he initially gained popularity as DJ Moonpie, a name his father suggested. Along the way, he joined the local DJ collective Bombon, marking significant steps in his career.

Svani has performed his music in various places like Houston, Tennessee, and Dallas. While he's already making a living from his music, Svani aspires to elevate his craft on a bigger scale.
Svani is just one of the many Latino artists making a splash in the scene. Alongside him, other artists, such as Rosalia, Karol G, Maluma, and Becky G, are also forging their notable paths in the world of music.
Svani shares a tight bond with his father. On Instagram, he has shared fun moments of them together, including enjoying a beverage on the sidewalk and jamming to music inside a bar.
He also honored his famous dad during Father's Day in 2022. While not much is known about Svani's mother and A.B.'s ex-wife, Vangie, as she keeps a low profile, A.B.'s current wife is Angela.
Even though Vangie's Instagram is private, Svani acknowledged Vangie on Mother's Day 2022 with a childhood photo that featured Latino artist Enrique Iglesias.
Adding to his professional roles, Svani is a doting dad to his daughter, Yvie. He has shared glimpses of their relationship on social media, including adorable moments of them brushing their teeth together and wearing matching clothes.
