A New York-born singer who brought salsa rhythms to international pop audiences.
For a quick sense of his style, try "Vivir Mi Vida" or "I Need You." They capture that balance of salsa drive and pop reach he's known for.
He grew up on Celia Cruz and Héctor Lavoe, then made salsa feel current for a new generation. Songs like "I Need You" show how he could deliver big emotion without losing the genre's pulse. That mix kept him relevant long after his early '90s start.
His solo career began with the 1990s album "Otra Nota" and tracks like "Hasta Ayer." By 1999, "I Need to Know" opened doors to a wider audience, while later anthems like "Vivir Mi Vida" reaffirmed his place in Latin music.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
