Before this lil’ kiddo with brown eyes was up onstage — becoming one of the best-selling Latin artists — he was just throwin’ on his silly hat, and dreaming of being a famous performer …

Born and raised in Medellin, he has one younger sister named Carolina. He definitely loved music growing up — listening to rock groups like Nirvana and Metallica. He eventually found his way to New York City where he became impressed by Diddy and 50 Cent.

Need one more lil’ hint on who this cute kid is? “La Cancion!”
