## Life and career

Kasey Avalos was born on March 19, 1992 in Miami, Florida, and is Cuban-American. Her first language is Spanish. As a child, La Goony Chonga wrote poems and songs with her friends at school in a slam book. In 2012, while in college for advertising, La Goony Chonga began posting freestyles to YouTube under the name Twiggy Rasta Masta, her Tumblr username at the time. She also began recording songs in her home, and also released a video for her first song, "I Don't Play with Fuckboys", in 2012. Motivated by comments accusing her of lying about freestyling, she soon dropped out of college to pursue music full-time, and, in 2013, briefly moved from Miami to Los Angeles, where she performed live for the first time at the Ham on Everything party.
La Goony Chonga released her debut studio album, Santeria Pussy, in 2013, followed by her second studio album Santeria Pussy 2, in 2015. She worked as a stripper from 2014 until 2017, when she became pregnant. In 2016, she changed her stage name to La Goony Chonga, inspired by her own song "Goony Chonga Barbie", and started primarily making Latin trap music. She identifies as a chonga, a subculture of women that she has described as "a lifestyle and a reminder of who I am and where I come from" and as an aesthetic defined by hoop earrings, lip liner, nameplates, and Chinese slippers.
La Goony Chonga released her debut EP, Free Bankroll Chonga, in 2018. After moving to Los Angeles, La Goony Chonga got in contact with producers Freak City, with whom she made her third studio album and first Spanish-language album, Dinero, a trap and reggaeton record. The album's release was postponed for a year due to her pregnancy and it was released in September 2018. Her first full-length album, Dimen5ión, was released in 2019. In October 2019, she was featured on the song "Encore" from Brooke Candy's album Sexorcism. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she started a YouTube series, Chongafied, in which she turned friends into chongas. In December 2020, she made a cameo in Brooke Candy's music video for her song "Cum". On July 29, 2021, she released the experimental reggaeton EP, Descontrol, the title of which was inspired by two songs by Nicky Jam and Daddy Yankee both titled "Descontrol". NPR's Alt.Latino named the EP's title track one of the best songs of 2021.
La Goony Chonga performed as a supporting act on Pabllo Vittar's 2022 tour.

## Musical style

Other influences for La Goony Chonga include Jennifer Lopez, Trina, Selena, Pitbull, and Celia Cruz. Mexican singer Sailorfag has called La Goony Chonga an inspiration.
