She hasn’t looked back since. Now she has singles, big-name collaborations, and a growing fanbase. Keep reading to learn more about the reality star-turned bachata singer’s music career.

90 Day Fiance: Why Kara Turned To Selling Steamy Content Online?

On 90 Day Fiance: The Last Resort Season 3, Kara and Guillermo opened up during a group therapy session that got pretty intense. Guillermo revealed that Kara had been selling adult content online – something she had previously promised she would never do. He admitted it hurt him deeply. Kara didn’t deny it. She explained that after their separation, she was struggling financially as a single mom. With no other option, she did the bad.

Kara stated her simple reason: she used the money to fund her bachata music career. Therapist Persia Lawson stepped in and encouraged Guillermo to speak more kindly about the situation rather than shaming her. He apologized for his tone mid-conversation. Kara showed no guilt even though her actions hurt Guillermo. She stood firmly behind her decision. Kara made it clear that she did it to support herself and her career.

90 Day Fiance: Kara Leona’s Music Journey Is Just Getting Started After Reality TV!

Kara Leona launched her music career in 2023, just one year after appearing on 90 Day Fiance. Her debut single On My Own was a bachata-style track. It was a breakup song, with husband Guillermo even starring in the music video. She followed it up with Magic Is Here the same year. In 2024, she released YDKM, which is short for “You Don’t Know Me.” The song she made specifically to clap back at online haters, and Save Me, which also had a live acoustic version featuring artist Orion Redwolf.

By 2025, Kara had fully leaned into Spanish-language bachata, releasing Lento with producer DJ Husky, El Reloj with Polish artist DJ Cat, and Buenos Aires with Italian producer Guido Londino. Her biggest release yet, Criminal, dropped in August 2025 with DJ Husky and Cuban producer Dimelo Cupido, featuring cameos from the 90 Day Bad Boys.

Her latest single, Amor Nuclear, a collaboration with artist Jiory, was released in April 2026. On Spotify, she currently has nearly 92,000 monthly listeners, with Amor Nuclear leading at over 211,000 streams, which is impressive for an independent artist trying to build a steady listener base. Kara has always expressed a passion for a music career – something Guillermo did not always support. But now that they are separated, she can focus fully on it.
