About J Balvin
Hailing
from Medellín, Colombia, José Álvaro
Osorio Balvin - better known to a legion of global fans
as J BALVIN - has been praised by Billboard
as "the biggest breakout act Latin music has seen in many
years." With a distinctive style all his own that pays
reverence to the first-wave of Reggaeton stars from Puerto Rico, but fused with additional
Colombian and mainstream hip-hop rhythms, more seductive than
boastful lyrics, and a strong passion for fashion,
J Balvin has become the undeniable leader of a
second-generation Reggaeton revolution propelling Urban music back
to the forefront of Latin music worldwide. Between his
game-changing major-label debut album LA
FAMILA, global smash hit successor ENERGIA and
recent landmark single s such as Mi Gente, and Machika,
J Balvin has quickly notched eight #1 Latin singles, 60
million social media followers, NINE BILLION Total YouTube
Views, and is the only Latin artist included in Rolling
Stone's recent spotlight of the "New Classics" – "20
creative visionaires… who refuse to be contained by the
rules of the past as they define the territory of the
future." With his distinctive style and chart
success, J Balvin has also become one of Latin music's
most in-demand collaborators, having now worked with artists,
writers and producers such
as Beyoncé, Justin
Bieber, Cardi B, Liam Payne,
Nicky Jam, Pharrell Williams,
Ariana Grande, Major Lazer, Poo Bear, Juanes, Daddy
Yankee, Camilla
Cabelo, and more. Major award recognition has also
quickly followed, as J Balvin has won back-to-back Latin
Grammy Awards, multiple Billboard Latin Awards, BMI's Songwriter
Award for Contemporary Latin Song of the Year, and
overall ARTIST OF THE YEAR recognition two years in a
row at Univision's Premio Lo Nuestro. J Balvin's
highly-anticipated next album "Vibras" will be released
May 25, 2018.
