Defying the contemporary formula for pop success, his music has been described as a global fusion of many musical influences.
Newcomer Christian Nodal vaulted to the top of music charts with his debut single “Adios Amor,” thanks to heavy airplay, digital sales and streams. The 18-year-old regional Mexican singer from Sonora, Mexico, dubs his musical style “mariacheño,” a mix of mariachi and norteño. The single’s official music video has reached more than 250 million views on YouTube, a rare feat for a new artist.
Nominated this year in the category of Favorite Regional Mexican Artist by iHeartRadio, Gerardo Ortiz is a veteran of the music business. Gerardo Ortiz notches his eighth No. 1 on the Regional Mexican Songs airplay chart with “Regresa Hermosa,” earning the record for most No. 1s among solo artists in the history of the 22-year-old chart, surpassing previous record holder Vicente Fernandez for the title.
Newcomer Ozuna is a true music maven and an online powerhouse with millions of followers. Earlier this year he managed to simultaneously place six songs on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, a first for an independent artist and a rare achievement in the music industry. He is in the midst of his Odisea World Tour where he has performed at sold-out shows around the globe. He recently became the first music artist to pack the Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles in a solo concert without ever releasing a music album. Ozuna will release his first music album titled “Odisea” on August 11.
Olga Tañón has been a trendsetting force in Latin music, entertaining audiences for over twenty-five years with her unmistakable voice, electrifying stage performances and catalog of hit songs. The iconic Puerto Rican singer-songwriter has sold millions of albums worldwide and holds the record for most top 10 hits (27) for a female artist on the Billboard Tropical Airplay chart. She recently released her 14th studio album “Olga Tañón y Punto.”
