Singing at the age of 5 and writing songs by 13, this trail-blazing artist was an early starter in the world of music.

To pay for his expenses, he worked as a grocery store bagger by day while creating his own music by night and uploading it to SoundCloud.

After hearing Bad Bunny’s song, “Diles,” DJ Luian was impressed and signed him to his music label in 2016.

“Soy Peor” was Bad Bunny’s breakthrough single, issued in December 2016 and peaked at #22 on the Hot Latin Songs chart.
