Now 31 years old, Aedo continues to build her career across acting, music, and digital content creation, maintaining a strong connection with audiences who grew up watching her on television.

Born on February 12, 1995, in Mexico City, Aedo began her career in front of the camera at a young age. Her portrayal of Dulce María in ‘Carita de Ángel’ during the early 2000s made her a household name across Latin America. The show, produced by Nicandro Díaz, became an iconic part of Televisa’s children’s programming lineup and remains fondly remembered by fans who followed her character’s journey.

After her time on ‘Carita de Ángel’, Aedo appeared in other notable Televisa productions including ‘Vivan los niños!’ (2002), ‘La familia P. Luche’, and various anthology series such as ‘Mujer, casos de la vida real’. She has also participated in dramas like ‘Como dice el dicho’, ‘Mi pecado’, and ‘Contra viento y marea’, demonstrating her range as an actress beyond children’s programming.

In recent years, Aedo has expanded her artistic focus to include music. She has released original songs available on streaming platforms, including tracks such as “Red flags”, “Monstruo”, and “Niña prodigo”, which showcase a more mature and personal artistic direction. Her music reflects her growth from the child star audiences remember to a young woman exploring her own creative voice.

Aedo pursued formal music education at Berklee College of Music in the United States, completing her studies before returning to the entertainment industry. This academic background has informed her work as both a singer and songwriter, allowing her to approach her music with technical training and artistic intention.

Her return to acting was confirmed in 2024 when she joined the cast of ‘Papás por conveniencia’, a TelevisaUnivision production starring Ariadne Díaz and José Ron. Marking her first major telenovela role in over 15 years, Aedo’s participation in the series was described as a special participation, signaling her selective return to dramatic acting after focusing on other creative pursuits.

Aedo maintains an active presence on social media platforms, particularly TikTok and Instagram, where she shares content that blends music, personal reflections, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of her creative process.

Through her digital platforms, Aedo discusses topics ranging from artistic development to personal growth, often sharing insights about her journey from child performer to multidisciplinary artist.

Her work represents a continuation of the career she began as a child star, now shaped by years of experience, education, and creative exploration across multiple entertainment disciplines.
