Artist Background

Raised by his paternal grandmother in Puerto Rico, Ozuna came from humble beginnings shaped by early hardship. After the untimely death of his father and his mother’s inability to raise him, he found stability with his father’s family, and he eventually found music as a way to express what he was living through. Because of that early connection, he was already drawn to performing by the time he was 12, which laid the groundwork for what would become his rapid rise in Latin music.

Born in San Juan to a Puerto Rican mother and a Dominican father, Ozuna later reflected on his upbringing through his music, including themes that surfaced strongly during his breakthrough era and on the album Odisea. He was raised largely by his father’s mother while his father worked as a dancer for reggaetón pioneer Vico C. When Ozuna was just three years old, his father was killed in a fatal shooting, and financial pressures meant his mother could not raise him on her own.

As he grew older, Ozuna spent part of his youth and student years in New York City, and that experience broadened his perspective while shaping his artistic identity. At the same time, it helped fuel the emotional range in his sound because he drew from culture, environment, and personal history. Therefore, his music became defined by a signature blend of heartfelt melodies, reggaetón energy, and Latin trap influence, which is why he is now widely regarded as one of the most influential reggaetón artists of his generation.
