René Villa was born January 26, 1997, in Nicoya. When a kid, Villa was heavily into Carlos Rivera, Luis Fonsi,  Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey. Especially Carey influenced his music style, to bring different types of music together. Throughout his career René has worked with Alan Shepard as well as Nelss, Carlox, among countless others. As a solo artist, he's released 2 albums and EPs that defy category, traversing intimate singer songwriter, pop, Latin pop, pop rock, electronic and dance. René submitted the first songs he ever wrote, and soon found himself making his debut with “Dónde Estás”, under the name of Shory Flores. That fateful turn of events changed his life as a musician, shifting his focus to composition and singing, and sending him on a profoundly winding and rewarding musical journey. Before changing his artist name, the songs were released by his old names, including "Juntos (Al Amanecer)" and "Te Quiero (Pa' Mi)". During 2020, Villa participated on Alan Shepard's album “The Right Time”, which is the featuring in ”A Tu Lado" under the pseudo name of “Jay Flores”.
