About Daddy Yankee

For the best part of three decades, Daddy Yankee has ruled the Latin music landscape and that isn't likely to change anytime soon.The Puerto Rican singer, rapper, actor, songwriter and record producer not only pioneered Reggaetón music but also played a major role in turning it into a global phenomenon.

The San Juan-born performer even coined the term "Reggaetón" to describe the new wave of music coming out of Puerto Rico in the early 1990s. He made his debut in 1991 on DJ Playero's mixtape Playero 34.

Daddy Yankee also featured on two other Playero albums before releasing his first solo album No Mercy in 1995. For the remainder of the decade, he mostly worked on underground records. In 1997, he released his first album as a record producer titled El Cartel de Yankee.

International Fame

While he had become a well-known musician during the 1990s, Daddy Yankee's career really took off after the turn of the century. This is also when he achieved international stardom thanks to the release of various hit singles. Among them was "Gasolina" which is often credited with introducing Reggaetón to the world. Since its release, Daddy Yankee has gone on to sell close to 20 million records.

He released his second studio album El Cangri.com in 2002. It broke into the top 50 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart and set the tone for the multi-Grammy nominee's future exploits. In 2004, Daddy Yankee released the super hit album Barrio Fino which climbed to number 1 on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart and was certified Platinum by the RIAA. Between 2000 and 2009, it was the top-selling Latin music record.

Following the huge success of Barrio Fino,the next three Daddy Yankee albums all claimed the number 1 spot on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. These included El Cartel: The Big Boss (2007), Mundial (2010) and Prestige (2011).

In 2017, the hit single "Despacito" was released as a collaboration between Daddy Yankee and Latin pop artist Luis Fonsi. It went number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the first Spanish song to do so since "Macarena" back in 1996. To date, the YouTube video of "Despacito" has been viewed over a billion times.
