The entertainment world mourns the death of Argentine singer and model Fede Dorcaz, who died at the age of 29. The artist, who had gained popularity in Mexico for his participation in the reality show Las Estrellas Bailan en Hoy, had been living in the country for several years in order to consolidate his artistic career.
The news was confirmed by the program Hoy, broadcast by Televisa, through a statement posted on its official social networks. In the message, the morning show’s team expressed their deep sadness and sent condolences to his family, friends and co-workers.
“Today we mourn the passing of our friend and colleague Fede Dorcaz. Fede leaves a great void in our team. His memory and his passion will always inspire us. “, reads the publication.
The statement did not include details about the causes of death, although it did highlight the legacy of the young artist, who had become a beloved figure within the program.
Federico Dorcaz -the artist’s full name- was born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, in 1996. From an early age he showed artistic inclinations, although he also enjoyed playing sports, especially soccer. At the age of 13, his family decided to move to Spain in search of better opportunities for their only son, a decision that would mark the beginning of his path towards the world of entertainment.
During his adolescence, Fede became interested in fashion and modeling, which led him to sign his first professional contract at the age of 18 with an agency in Spain. His career took him to fashion shows in Spain, Italy and the United States, experiences that, according to his own account on his official website, awakened in him a new passion: music.
“I used to sing in the dressing rooms before going out on the catwalk, and I was very happy when my colleagues asked me to sing at meetings or parties. I saw music as a great opportunity “, shared the artist in a recent interview.
