J Balvin, born José Álvaro Osorio Balvín in Medellín, Colombia, has risen to become one of the most influential figures in Latin music, earning the title "Prince of Reggaeton." With over 35 million records sold worldwide, his impact spans both the Latin and English-speaking markets. Balvin's journey began in his hometown, where he honed his skills performing at local clubs, but it was his move to the United States at age 17 to learn English that set the stage for his international success. His breakthrough came in 2014 with the hit single "6 AM" featuring Farruko, and since then, he has collaborated with global icons like Beyoncé and Cardi B, bringing reggaeton to mainstream audiences. J Balvin's dynamic stage presence and innovative show design make his live performances unforgettable, as seen in his "Back To The Rayo Tour." Beyond his music, Balvin has also ventured into merchandise collaborations, partnering with brands like Cheetos and Sour Patch Kids, further cementing his status as a cultural icon.
