About
San Juan's Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez. 'Gasolina' (2004) was the moment reggaeton became a global format and the 'Barrio Fino' record sold three million copies. 'Despacito' (with Luis Fonsi, 2017) did over six billion YouTube views, was the first Spanish-language song to top the Hot 100 since 'Macarena,' and basically printed the modern Latin-pop / global-pop crossover playbook. He retired in 2023 after the 'La Última Vuelta' tour and a born-again-Christian announcement. The Big Boss; reggaeton's most consequential single artist.
