  "account": "Sara Schell, a 23-year-old newcomer, has been nominated for Songwriter of the Year at the upcoming 2026 Latin Grammys. Born in Barquisimeto, Venezuela, Schell was initially planning to study business in London after graduating high school. However, the pandemic forced her family to move to Mexico instead. During this time, she discovered her passion for songwriting by posting covers on Instagram and collaborating with online writers. Schell's musical education began at the age of four at the Vicente Emilio Sojo Conservatory in Venezuela, where she played the cello and later expanded her skills to include piano, singing, and songwriting. Her first song, \"Sin Ti o Contigo,\" was written at 15 and uploaded to digital platforms, but it has since been removed. Schell gained recognition in 2024 with a collaboration on Fuerza Regida's track \"PXTXS,\" which led to her being signed by Nir Seroussi of Interscope and her current manager, Ben Tischker of Wide Eyed Entertainment.",
