Armando Christian Perez -
globally known as Pitbull - is everywhere. From landing # 1
hits in over 15 countries, 8 billion YouTube/VEVO views, 70 million
single sales, and 6 million album sales, Pitbull does not stop. His
relentless work ethic transformed him into a Grammy-winning
international superstar, visionary entrepreneur, fashion maven, and
successful actor. His social media presence speaks to nearly 90
million people daily, matching some television networks. Also known
as "Mr. 305" and "Mr. Worldwide," he is as ubiquitous as Google or
Microsoft, while preparing to release his tenth full-length album,
2016's Climate Change. Outside of entertainment, Pitbull is making
history in the business world. Whether it's his Voli Vodka,
fragrance line "Pitbull," strategic alliance with Playboy
Enterprises, or the partnerships with brands from Bud Light, Kodak,
and Dr. Pepper to Dodge and Norwegian Cruise Lines, his influence
has catapulted. He has his own Sirius XM Radio station, Pitbull's
Globalization and his production company, "Honey, I'm Home."
Pitbull also a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a wax figure in
Madame Tussauds in Orlando, serves
as an ambassador for "Visit Florida" and received a key to the city
of Miami.
In the past 5 years, multi-platinum award-winning Latin
superstar Prince Royce has
scored 12 number one Latin hits, 20 Latin Billboard Awards,
18 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, 19 Premios Juventud
(Youth Choice) Awards, and earned 8 Latin Grammy
nominations. Royce has a massive fan base with over 1
billion streams online, 33.5 million followers on Facebook,
5.2 million on Twitter and 4.8 million on Instagram. He has sold
out the most prestigious venues in Latin
America, as well as concerts throughout the US including
Radio City Music Hall, The Nokia Theater and the Theater at Madison
Square Garden. At the age of 22 he was honored with a Latin
Billboard Award for Composer of the Year, becoming the youngest
artist to garner the award. In November 2014, he released
the electro-pop/R&B banger "Stuck on a Feeling," featuring
Snoop Dogg, followed by the May 2015 release of the
dancehall-flavored "Back It Up" (featuring Pitbull and Jennifer Lopez) – two tracks from his first
English-language album, "Double Vision". This year, he releases his
highly anticipated fourth Spanish-language album which promises to
be a huge success. The first single off the upcoming album "Culpa
Al Corazón" reached #1 on Billboard's Latin Songs (across all Latin
genres), Latin Pop and Tropical Charts. Recently, Royce co-starred
as Peter in the Fox live musical broadcast of "The Passion" and is
part of the cast of the next season of Hulu's "East Los High" due
out July 2016.
Infusing romantic lyrical content into Latin urban music,
FARRUKO's highly popular and unique sound has made him a leader in
the Reggaeton movement. Recognized by Billboard as one of
Reggaeton's "rising stars, reinforcing the genre's strength and
giving us plenty of party music," the 24-year-old artist is far
from a rookie. He has collaborated with other Latin music
superstars, including Daddy Yankee, Don
Omar, J Balvin, Nicky Jam, and Yandel, among others.
Demonstrating his versatility, his hits include songs that
seamlessly crossover into pop, bachata, mambo, vallenato and
R&B, creating an impressive musical repertoire full of
remarkable fusions that highlight his deep musical knowledge and
diverse sounds. FARRUKO finished 2015 as his most successful year
yet, taking home two awards at Premios Lo Nuestro for Urban Song of the Year and Urban Collaboration
of the Year and a Billboard Latin Music Award for Latin Rhythm Song
of the Year. Then, in October, Farruko delights the masses with yet
another new album, "Visionary," which was released in pre-sale and
in just hours reached the #1 in iTunes' "Top Latin Albums" list,
position in which it stayed until three weeks after its official
launch. Now at the pinnacle of his career, FARRUKO will not let
anything stop him from dominating the industry in 2016.
