Ozuna

"China", released in July 2019 with Anuel AA, Daddy Yankee, Karol G and J Balvin, became his fourth number one on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart. He released his third album Nibiru on November 29, 2019. The album features collaborations from Cultura Profética’s Willy Rodríguez, Snoop Dogg, DJ Snake and Diddy. In an interview with National Public Radio, Ozuna explained the significance of the album title by saying, "I chose the name Nibiru from the theory that the world will end [after an interplanetary collision] and I adapted it to my own personal concept: We make music to collide with the world and the public". Also in November 2019, Ozuna performed at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, which he called “a dream, because I’ve seen it on TV for years".

In January 2019, Ozuna confirmed he had been the victim of an extortion scam involving an explicit video filmed of him when he was a minor. The FBI investigated the case, and Ozuna's lawyer confirmed that Kevin Fret, an openly gay trap singer, was the person extorting Ozuna. Kevin Fret was murdered, and police said that Ozuna was not a suspect in the murder. For the video, which had been edited to cause Ozuna more damage, Ozuna apologized to his fans and family.

Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, he decided to become a singer at age 12, drawing influence from the Latin genres of reggaeton, salsa, and bachata. He made his musical debut in 2012 with the song "Imaginando", which attracted the attention of recording labels and led to collaborations with Daddy Yankee and Anuel AA. He released several singles before signing with Sony Music Latin in 2017, who funded the recording of his debut album Odisea. His second studio album Aura, released on August 24, 2018, debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200. His 2018 collaboration with DJ Snake, Cardi B, and Selena Gomez on "Taki Taki" reached number eleven on the US Billboard Hot 100. He released his third studio album, Nibiru on November 29, 2019.

Since the beginning of his career, he has sold around 15 million records, making him one of the best-selling Latin music artists of all time. Ozuna has the most one billion-view videos on YouTube of any artist and has received five Billboard Music Award, twelve Billboard Latin Music Awards, four Guinness World Records, among other accolades. In 2018, Time included him on their annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world. He made his acting debut in the film Que León.

In December 2017, Ozuna released the single "La Modelo" featuring Cardi B. Following the release, the song debuted at number 52 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the chart dated January 6, 2018, becoming Ozuna's first entry to the ranking as a lead act, following his featurings with Wisin's "Escápate Conmigo" and Natti Natasha's "Criminal", while all of them hit number three on the Hot Latin Songs chart. In 2018, Time included him on their annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

His second studio album Aura, released on August 24, 2018, debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200. To promote the album, Ozuna embarked on the Aura Tour, which started on July 26, 2018, in Madrid, while the US leg started on September 7 in Atlanta. He was named YouTube's most-viewed artist globally of 2018. He made his acting debut starring in the film Que Leon, which was also released in the US. In 2018, he worked with DJ Snake, Cardi B, and Selena Gomez for releasing "Taki Taki". The single reached number eleven on the US Billboard Hot 100.

In June 2017, VP Entertainment/DimeloVi president, Vicente Saavedra, signed an agreement with Sony Music Latin. The deal included distribution for all artists represented by Saavedra agencies, starting with Ozuna's first studio album, Odisea. It was released on August 11. The Odisea tour began on May 26, 2017, in Atlanta, and included over 25 cities, among them, Chicago, Miami, Houston, and Los Angeles. Eventually, it was renamed the Odisea World Tour, with Ozuna visiting European cities and Latin America.

In 2017, Ozuna released many singles, including "Dile Que Tu Me Quieres (Remix)" (featuring Yandel), "Después de las 12" and, in April of that year, "Tu Foto", which reached the 10th spot on the Latin Billboard list, and reached more than 780 million views on YouTube. He also released several collaborations, including "La Rompe Corazones" (featuring Daddy Yankee), "Escápate Conmigo" (featuring Wisin), "Ahora Dice" (with J Balvin, Arcángel, and Chris Jeday) among others. "Se Preparó" was released on August 10, 2017, and, as of October 2019, has more than 1.2 billion views on YouTube.

Ozuna describes himself as a "typical boricua with Dominican blood." He is married to Taina Marie Meléndez and they have two children, Sofía and Jacob Andrés. Ozuna is a collector of watches, a passion that began when his grandmother gave him a Toy Story watch when he was a child. He calls his watch collection his "greatest investment" and in 2017 alone, he spent over $800,000 USD on watches.

In 2017, he started the charity organization Odisea Children. Aside from supporting the hospital with financial donations, Ozuna visited sick children in the San Jorge Hospital, in Santurce, San Juan at Christmas time in 2019, along with other reggaeton artists that he called to action.

On January 5, 2017, he was arrested along with his work team at the El Dorado International Airport in Bogotá, Colombia, by immigration agents. The incident occurred after he and his producer acted violently before the agents, which caused the reprogramming of a concert scheduled in Manizales.

That same year, he started his ongoing popular streak with his breakthrough hit "Si Tu Marido No Te Quiere", originally featuring D.OZi when released to streaming platforms and websites, though he was taken down when the song hit radio. That song achieved success on radio and was eventually well known across Latin America. He has since performed in many shows across South America. In early 2016, Ozuna gained further prominence for his appearance in the single "La Ocasión", a collaboration with DJ Luian, Mambo Kingz, De La Ghetto, Arcángel, and Anuel AA. The single reached number 22 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart. In March, Ozuna released a remix of his song "No Quiere Enamorarse", featuring Daddy Yankee. In September, he released his most popular single at the time, "Dile Que Tu Me Quieres", which earned him a place at number 13 on the Billboard Latin chart at the end of the year. Ozuna also had two other songs that made it to the ranking, "Si Tu Marido No Te Quiere (Remix)" (featuring Arcángel and Farruko) and "En La Intimidad", which reached the top 30.

Ozuna debuted as a singer in 2012 with the song "Imaginando". He previously went by the name J Oz. He worked with Musicologo & Menes before gaining popularity. In 2014, he signed a recording contract with Golden Family Records and began to publish his songs on YouTube. The following year, he focused on gaining a following by performing more than 300 shows in Puerto Rico.

Drawing influence from the Latin music he grew up on, he decided to pursue a singing career at age twelve. That same year, his uncle, who served as a father-figure since his father's death, gifted him his first microphone. His uncle often played music by Daddy Yankee, Don Omar and De La Ghetto, and the teenager would rap along with the songs on the microphone. Ozuna took a job at a local bar called El Corozal, where his earliest musical performances took place. Hoping to escape the violence and poverty of his neighborhood, he moved to the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City in 2010. While there, the artist learned how to produce and promote his own music videos, and made his first video with a budget of under $100 USD. However, he viewed Washington Heights to be equally violent and impoverished as his hometown, and returned to Puerto Rico with his wife and two children after three years in New York.

Jan Carlos Ozuna Rosado (born March 13, 1992), known simply by his surname Ozuna, is a Puerto Rican reggaeton and Latin trap singer, regarded as the "New King of Reggaeton". All of his studio albums have reached the top of the Billboard Top Latin Albums, with Aura charting at number seven on the Billboard 200. His musical style is primarily reggaeton and trap, but he has collaborated with artists spanning a variety of genres, including reggae, bachata, and EDM.
