Bio:
Born Raúl Alejandro Ocasio Ruiz on January 10, 1993, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Rauw Alejandro is a reggaeton powerhouse whose smooth vocals and infectious rhythms have redefined Latin urban music. Raised in Canóvanas and Carolina, he drew from his parents—a guitarist father and backup vocalist mother—to blend influences like Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, and Daddy Yankee. After early mixtapes like GuabanSexxx (2018) and Trap Cake, Vol. 1 (2019), his 2020 debut album Afrodisíaco exploded with hits like “Reloj” and “Tattoo (Remix),” earning a Grammy nomination. Vice Versa (2021) topped Latin charts with “Todo de Ti,” while Saturno (2022) delivered “Lokera.” His 2023 EP Playa Saturno and 2024 album Cosa Nuestra—featuring Bad Bunny, Romeo Santos, and Laura Pausini—mixed salsa and reggaeton. With over 15 million Instagram followers and streams dominating Spotify and Apple Music, Rauw’s rise from soccer dreams to global stages embodies Puerto Rico’s unfiltered passion.
