Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, known professionally as Bad Bunny, is one of the most influential and innovative artists in contemporary Latin music. Born on March 10, 1994, in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, he rose to fame with his unique blend of reggaeton, Latin trap, and genre-defying sounds that have reshaped the global music scene. 

From a young age, Bad Bunny showed a deep passion for music, often creating songs in his bedroom and sharing them on SoundCloud. While studying at the University of Puerto Rico, his track Diles caught the attention of DJ Luian, launching his career in the Latin urban music industry. 

His breakout came in 2017 with hits like Soy Peor and collaborations with artists such as J Balvin and Cardi B, leading to his debut album X 100PRE in 2018. The album showcased his ability to blend reggaeton with rock, electronic, and hip-hop influences, setting him apart from his contemporaries.

Bad Bunny quickly became a cultural icon, known not only for his music but also for his bold fashion choices, advocacy for social issues, and genre-breaking creativity. His subsequent albums, including YHLQMDLG (2020) and Un Verano Sin Ti (2022), broke streaming records and solidified his status as a global superstar. 

Beyond music, Bad Bunny has ventured into wrestling with WWE, acting in Hollywood productions, and even collaborating with major fashion brands. His influence extends far beyond reggaeton, making him one of the most groundbreaking artists of his generation.
