The Global Phenomenon and Voice of a New Generation
Born Juan Carlos Ozuna Rosado in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Ozuna has redefined the boundaries of urban Latin music. Since his breakout in 2012, his meteoric rise has been characterized by a relentless string of hits and a versatile musical style that seamlessly blends reggaeton, Latin trap, and Bachata with soulful vocals and infectious hooks.
Chart-Topping Success and Record-Breaking Albums
Ozuna’s impact on the music industry is best reflected in his chart performance. His 2017 debut album, Odisea, spent a record-breaking 46 weeks at the top of the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart. He followed this success with a series of critically acclaimed projects, including Aura, Nibiru, ENOC, and his 2023 exploration of African rhythms, Afro. His ability to evolve while maintaining his signature sound has kept him at the forefront of the streaming era, becoming the artist with the most videos to reach one billion views on YouTube.
Global Collaborations and Awards
A master of collaboration, Ozuna has bridged the gap between Latin and Anglo markets. His 2018 mega-hit "Taki Taki"—alongside DJ Snake, Selena Gomez, and Cardi B—became a global cultural moment, certified quadruple platinum. His trophy cabinet includes multiple Billboard Music Awards, Latin American Music Awards, and the prestigious Extraordinary Evolution Award. Beyond the stage, he is recognized for his philanthropic work through his Odisea Children’s Foundation, supporting education and health for underprivileged youth.
Continued Influence in 2026
As he continues to headline major venues like Ushuaïa Ibiza and dominate festival lineups worldwide, Ozuna remains a leading ambassador for Latin music. Whether delivering high-energy club anthems or emotive ballads, he continues to push the genre forward, ensuring his legacy as a true icon of the Latin urban scene.
