Early Years Of Daddy Yankee
Ramón Luis Ayala Rodrguez, better known as Daddy Yankee, was born on February 3, 1977, in Ro Piedras, Puerto Rico. Ro Piedras is the biggest neighborhood outside of San Juan. His father was also a singer. He was a bongosero, which is a type of percussionist who plays salsa music. Even though she came from a family of musicians, his mother is a manicurist. Nomar is his brother's name.
As a kid, he wanted to be a Major League Baseball player for a living. He did get an opportunity to try out for the Seattle Mariners. But his hopes of being a sports star were shattered when he got caught in the middle of a gun battle in the barrio and got shot in the leg with an AK-47.
A career in Music Of Daddy Yankee
Ayala started singing and rapping when he was 13, but he wasn't able to focus on his music business until he was recovering from his bullet wounds. He was influenced by the styles of Vico C, DJ Playero, DJ Nelson, and DJ Drako. He combined their styles with his own to become one of the first acts to play Reggaeton, a style of Spanish-language dancehall reggae. One of his first songs was on DJ Playero's "Playero 34" mixtape from 1991. It was called "So' Persigueme, No Te Detengas." "No Mercy" came out in 1995 on White Lion Records and BM Records in Puerto Rico. It was his first true solo studio project. In the 1990s, he kept showing up on DJ Playero's mixtapes, many of which were banned by the Puerto Rican government because of their sexual lyrics. He is thought to be one of the first people to make Reggaeton music. Some people even say that he and DJ Playero came up with the word "Reggaeton" in 1994. On their record "Playero 36" from 1994, the two used the word to describe their music.
Nas and Ayala worked together on the song "The Prophecy" in 1997. Then he put out two collections of songs called "El Cartel" (1997) and "El Cartel II" (2001). They did very well in Puerto Rico, but they couldn't get anywhere else in Latin America. In 2002, when he put out the record "El Cangri.com," he had his first real international hit. During this early part of his career, he also worked on a project with Nicky Jam called Los Cangris, a compilation record called "Los Homerun-es," and the albums "Mas Flow" (2003) and "Mas Flow 2" (2005), which were made with the well-known reggaetón producer's Luny Tunes.
"Barrio Fino," Ayala's third solo studio record, came out in 2004. It was put out by El Cartel Records and VI Music. It was the first record that Ayala's record company, El Cartel Records, which he owns with Andres Hernandez, put out. The record was a hit in many places. In the United States alone, it sold more than 500,000 copies. After releasing the record, he went on a world tour, stopping in places like the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Honduras, Spain, Colombia, Argentina, Venezuela, and the US. One of the singles from the album, "Gasolina," was a big hit all over the world.
As a guest artist on N.O.R.E.'s song "Oye Mi Canto" (2004), which reached number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, he kept his success going. In 2005, he got a number of international awards, which helped him become even more well-known as a top Latin music artist. "Barrio Fino" won Album of the Year at the Lo Nuestro Awards and Reggaeton Album of the Year at the Latin Billboard Awards. "Gasolina" got eight nominations and seven awards at the second edition of the Premios Juventud, and it also got nominations at the Latin Grammy and MTV Video Music Awards. The success of "Gasolina" led to the creation of a new radio format and a new Billboard chart called "Latin Rhythm Airplay" Time magazine named Daddy Yankee one of the 100 most important people in 2006, citing the fact that "Barrio Fino" had sold more than 2 million copies and that he had a $20 million contract with Interscope records and was a Pepsi endorser.
Ayala has put out a few more records since then, including "El Cartel: The Big Boss" in 2007, "Mundial" in 2010, and "Prestige" in 2012. He has also been a guest on the reggaetón compilation albums "Caribbean Connection" (2008), "Echo Presenta: Invasión" (2007), and "Mas Flow: Los Benjamins" (2006). Also, his 2017 hit "Despacito," which he made with Latin pop singer Luis Fonsi, was one of his most important songs since "Gasolina." It was the first Spanish-language song to top the Billboard Hot 100 since "Macarena" in 1996. Also, on April 20, 2017, the music video for "Despacito" got its billionth view, making it the video with the most views in YouTube history at the time. Because "Despacito" was so popular, Ayala became the most-listened-to artist on Spotify around the world in 2017. He was the first Latin artist to do this. As of 2017, Ayala had won 82 of the 270 awards for which she was nominated.
