Following a massive streak of successful hits like “Mi Gente” and"I Like It," the Colombian artist recently told NBC News that these days his main focus is on being a dad to his 1-year-old son, Rio.
José Álvaro Osorio Balvin, known artistically as J Balvin, was born and raised in Medellín, Colombia. With dreams of becoming a rapper, 17-year-old Balvin sought out Colombia’s then-underground hip-hop and reggaeton scene. After severalmusic campaigns and local performances, Balvin was signed in to the Universal recording label in 2013.
Balvin's mainstream success reached new heights in 2018 with the release of his album"Vibras." It combined diverse music sounds, from romantic reggaeton styles to dance hall rhythms."'Vibras' changed the game, sonically," Balvin said."That album helped us connect with the rest of the world. A lot of really huge songs that were in that album helped our genre and our culture, to keep elevating on them. Then the rest is history.
