Bad Bunny is a three-time Grammy and nine-time Latin Grammy Award winning performer. His versatility as a genre-defying artist has catapulted him from Latin trap beginnings to global superstar. Since topping the Billboard Hot 100 with Cardi B and J Balvin on 2018's "I Like It," the Puerto Rican megastar has shattered all kinds of records. In 2020, his third album El Último Tour del Mundo became the first-ever Spanish-language album to top the Billboard 200. That same year, he became Spotify's most-streamed artist -- the first Latin artist at the time to bear the distinction -- repeating the feat in 2021 and 2022. Bad Bunny's crossover success has made him one of the world's most in-demand live acts, and El Último Tour del Mundo 2022 became the highest-grossing tour by a Latin artist in Billboard Boxscore history. He shattered his own record on 2022's World's Hottest Tour, which grossed $435 million worldwide and became the highest-grossing Latin tour in Billboard history.
~~~~~~~~
It's undeniable that Bad Bunny is one of the hottest Latin trap stars of our time, and the numbers prove it. As of 2018, the Puerto Rican vocalist boasts 7 billion streams on YouTube, making him one of the top three artists dominating the platform. And that's before releasing his first proper full-length album X100PRE.
Born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, Bad Bunny was raised in the rural town of Vega Baja in San Juan. Music from Fania Records -- New York's trailblazing salsa label of the 1970s and '80s -- abounded in his household. As a child, he sang in the choir of his local church and eventually took up skateboarding as a teen while reveling in the music of local urban and reggaeton superstars like Calle 13 and Daddy Yankee, and even SoCal nü-metal from Linkin Park.
His flamboyant, urban image would set him apart from the rising troupe of Spanish-language trap stars -- he often rocks bright, floral outfits, funky buzz cuts with designs, and manicured nails. Yet his slow-burning baritone and unbridled flow is what captured the masses.
In 2016, he broke out via SoundCloud with his debut single, the La Paciencia-produced "Diles," but he skyrocketed to fame with a menacing, lovelorn platinum number "Soy Peor." Often seen collaborating with other Latin urban powerhouses like Ozuna and Arcangel, Bad Bunny would further gain immense visibility when he teamed up with Cardi B and J Balvin for their 2018 summer banger, "I Like It," which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard charts.
This concert will take place in Ring Central Stadium - outdoor show.
