Linea Personal’s Moment Has Arrived
· Rolling StoneWhen it comes to being the next big música mexicana band, Linea Personal is all in. Next month, the Mexican American group will embark on TODO Ø NADA, their first headlining tour of the U.S. — and for the band members, this feels like unlocking a new achievement in their rising careers.
“We’ve been waiting for this moment for the past three years to finally go on tour,” Linea Personal‘s lead singer Gustavo “Tavo” Raya-Garcia tells Rolling Stone. “We’re ready to go to every city and see how many fans we have and really spend time with them. It’s a little bit stressful, but we’re really excited.”
Linea Personal hails from Stockton, California. The band includes Raya-Garcia, his younger brother Aidan Raya-Garcia, Lozoya Verduzco, and Jorge Ontiveros. Early on, Linea Personal linked up with another Mexican American act that has dominated the corridos space: Fuerza Regida. Frontman Jesús Ortiz Paz, known as JOP, signed them to his label Street Mob Records in 2021. Considering that Fuerza Regida is currently touring stadiums in the U.S., Tavo feels like they’re in the right hands. “JOP’s advice to us is to be better and to always work harder because hard work beats talent,” he says. “We’re working hard for what we want.”
Back in March, Linea Personal performed at Rolling Stone’s Future of Music Showcase at SXSW 2026 in a lineup with Fuerza Regida and their label mates Chino Pacas and Clave Especial. Shortly after, the band dropped their breakthrough album TODO Ø NADA where corridos collided with soulful R&B, reflecting their bicultural upbringing. The LP includes Linea Personal’s biggest hit so far, the hustle anthem “Holanda,” which has over 80 million streams on Spotify. “Seeing ‘Holanda’ just blow up like that, we just realized that we have a lot of potential to be more than what we really are,” Tavo says. “We’re really grateful that that song put us to where we’re at right now.”
Linea Personal’s TODO Ø NADA Tour will kick off on Aug. 7 in San Luis Obispo, California. The 17-city trek will move across the states until mid-October. “We’re going to get drunk with our fans,” Tavo says. “Our goal here is to just have a lot of fun with our fans.”

With the tour taking place amidst the Trump’s administration’s ongoing ICE raids, he also reaffirms the band’s support for the immigrant community. “We’re always going to support our people no matter what,” Tavo says. “Our parents came to this country and sacrificed a lot to give us a better life. What we inherited from our Mexican families is to work hard for what we got and that’s what we’re doing here.”

Though they’re one of the youngest acts on Street Mob Records, Linea Personal have certain priorities they’ve held onto from the start. “The only thing I can give back to my parents is to make sure that they’re having a better life as well, so us going on tour is a way that we can give back to them,” he says. “Our parents are really proud of us.”
While preparing for the tour, Linea Personal has also been in the studio working on new music. The band teased that an EP’s worth of songs will be released later this year. “For these songs, we’re going way back,” Tavo says. “We’re going back to that 2017 and 2018 type of music. We want to give people that nostalgic feeling of those times.”
