Editor's note

J Balvin, the reggaeton star from Medellín

His breakout hit "6 AM" in 2013 set the stage for albums like "Energía" and "Vibras".

For a quick sense of his vibe, try "Azul" or "Downtown" with Anitta. They capture that bright, polished reggaeton he does so well.

Balvin's music brought reggaeton to a global audience with tracks like "Ginza" and "I Like It" with Bad Bunny and Cardi B. He's used his platform to talk openly about anxiety and depression, adding a personal layer to his upbeat sound. The controversy over "Perra" in 2017 showed he's not afraid to stumble publicly, then apologize and move on.

He grew up in Medellín listening to hip-hop and reggaeton, then moved to the U.S. in 2004 to find producers. After "6 AM" hit in 2013, albums like "Energía" and "Vibras" cemented his style, leading to more recent work like "Colores" and "Jose".
