# Ozuna

> Ozuna (Juan Carlos Ozuna Rosado) is Puerto Rico's reigning melodic reggaeton king — the artist who spent more consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Latin Albums than any male in history, held four Guinness World Records simultaneously, and became the most-viewed artist on YouTube globally in 2018. Raised by his grandmother above a San Juan bodega after losing his father at age three, he turned hardship into a sonic empire spanning seven studio albums, 23+ million Instagram followers, and collaborations with Cardi B, Selena Gomez, DJ Snake, and Rosalía. His smooth melodic tenor and genre-fluid approach — blending reggaeton, melodic trap, Afrobeats, and Latin pop — have made him a defining voice of the streaming era.
