J Balvin

José Álvaro Osorio Balvín, known professionally as J Balvin, was born on May 7, 1985, in Medellín, Colombia. His journey into the world of music began earnestly at the age of 19, after returning from a stint in the United States where he had gone to learn English. His initial years in the industry were marked by local performances in Medellín's clubs, a period during which he also pursued a degree in international business at EAFIT University. His early music was described as imitations of Puerto Rican reggaeton, but he soon found his own voice, adopting a more relaxed, minimalist style.
