Ambar Lucid

Ambar Carolina Crúz Rodriguez (born January 2, 2001), known professionally as Ambar Lucid, or Estrella, is an American singer-songwriter from the suburb of Little Ferry, New Jersey.

Life and career Crúz was born to a Dominican mother and Mexican father. She spent two years, between ages 5 and 7, moving between the Dominican Republic and New Jersey until finally settling in New Jersey. As a child, her father was deported to Mexico, and she did not see him again until they were reunited in 2019 when she was 18 years old. She also met her little sister for the first time. The documentary was released the same week more ICE raids were announced in multiple large cities.

In 2024, Crúz signed a record deal with Nice Life Recording Company. She began releasing music with Nice Life Recording Company in 2025, starting with the song "There Goes My Baby" in March, and "6am" in April. Both songs will be featured on her May 2025 EP release, El Jardín de Lágrimas.

Beginning in April 2026, Crúz will co-headline the Entre Dos Mundos tour with singer Maye.

Artistry Crúz sings in both Spanish and English. She has stated "If one day I decided, 'Listen, I'ma sing all in Spanish,' it would be fine. If I write songs that don't have any Spanish in them, it would be fine. It feels really good to prove the person that said ['no one's gonna pay attention to your music if you sing in Spanish'] wrong, just because it was such a hurtful thing to hear as a child with such a big dream." and notes peers Omar Apollo and Cuco as the new generation of young Latino artists whose music speaks to immigrant kids.
