Proudly hailing from Puerto Rico, Bad Bunny is a singer, rapper and producer who has garnered a reputation as one of the most inventive and eccentric voices found in today’s dynamic Latin trap scene.

As a leader in the Latinx urban music movement, known as música urbana, the 25-year-old first got his bearings by releasing original songs on SoundCloud and working on music outside of his day job at an area supermarket. He ultimately captured the attention of DJ Luian with his single “Diles,” and soon thereafter, was signed to the DJ’s record label, Hear this Music, in 2016. Later that same year, he released his breakout single “Soy Peor,” which has since gone on to rack up over 100 million plays on YouTube.

Rising to prominence through building a steadfast following on social media, Bad Bunny continued to evolve his artistry and develop a signature sound by fusing genres such as Latin soul, pop, R&B, reggaeton, and trap. As exemplified by a plethora of collaborations and his own solo music, his mercurial ability to weave between styles and languages alike has helped establish his own individual footprint in music. Whether he is rapping or singing in Spanish, English or a combination of the two, his confidence shines through on every track, helping him to resonate with an ever-growing audience.

As he steadily grows his career with each strategic and self-expressive move, Bad Bunny is coming into his own, all while representing for his native San Juan and leaving his mark on pop culture at large.
