Born in Medellín, Colombia's second-largest city after Bogotá, José Álvaro Osorio Balvín, professionally known as J Balvin, is arguably the most popular singer in Colombia today. Often hailed as the prince of reggaeton music, J Balvin is one of the world's biggest selling Latin artists. It is estimated that he has sold more than 35 million records. As you know, other prominent Latin music stars Ricky Martin, Enrique Iglesias and Shakira only found worldwide success after recording albums in English. J Balvin, while collaborating with many English-speaking artists, continues to sing almost exclusively in Spanish and hopes to bring Spanish-language music to a wider global audience.
