Who is Bad Bunny?

Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, known as Bad Bunny, was born on March 10, 1994. Bad Bunny grew up in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, and found his passion for singing at a young age. After seeing an old photo of himself wearing a bunny suit with a grumpy expression, he decided his stage name would be Bad Bunny.

Bunny was happy to stay home with his two younger brothers rather than live a life of crime with his friends on the streets. At age 13, Bad Bunny would often sing in the choir at church before straying into music played on the radio, such as Hector Lavoe and Daddy Yankee. Listening to more mainstream music propelled Bad Bunny to become more creative musically.

When he was in middle school, Bad Bunny began performing for his friends with bunny raps making them laugh. Along with his talent for freestyle raps, he discovered a passion for skateboarding and professional wrestling in high school. However, his family wasn’t too happy about that and urged him to attend college and get a professional degree.

Martinez was a good kid and went off to the University of Puerto Rico in Arecibo. Then, to earn extra money, he worked part-time as a supermarket bagger. However, he never gave up on singing and worked on his Spanish rap reggae music at night.

Bad Bunny’s career first started when he released music on SoundCloud. DJ Lucian discovered him there and signed him to a record deal. Bad Bunny’s first record deal made him an overnight sensation, and he started releasing singles. One song that took off was “Sensuality,” a collaboration with Bunny, Colombian singer J Balvin, and Dominican singer Prince Royce.

Over the following year, Bad Bunny released many top-10 tracks on the Latin Charts. Then, after collecting hundreds of millions of views on YouTube, he earned the title of the hottest artist in the Latin American mumble rap scene.

In 2018, Bad Bunny got rave revues when he joined forces with Drake and Cardi B on “I Like It” and “Mia”. He raps in Spanish and English in the song, which reached number one on the US Billboard Top 100. This attention presented Bad Bunny to a broader audience in the United States.

In 2018, on Christmas Eve, Bad Bunny released his debut album X 100pre. Fans were crazy about the album and its inventive sound. It showed Bad Bunny was in a league of his own and cemented him as one of the best. After that, he released two further albums, YHLQMDLG(2020) and El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo.

Afterward, he partnered with J Balvin to produce “Oasis,” gaining even more hits. As a result, 2020 became a busy year for Bad Bunny. He performed during the Super Bowl halftime show, with his popularity sky-rocketing. Everyone adored him, and he became the first Latin urban music artist to make it to the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.
