Daddy Yankee had started singing and rapping at the age of 13, but it wasn’t until he was recovering from the bullet wounds that he had the opportunity to focus on his music career.

Daddy Yankee was inspired by the style of Vico C, DJ Playero, DJ Nelson, and DJ Drako, and combined their styles with his own to be one of the first artists to perform what is known as Reggaeton, a style of Spanish-language dancehall reggae. One of his first music appearances was on DJ Playero’s 1991 mixtape, “Playero 34”, with the song “So’ Persigueme, No Te Detengas”.

Daddy Yankee first official solo was “No Mercy” (1995), which was released through White Lion Records and BM Records in Puerto Rico.

Daddy Yankee continued to appear on several of DJ Playero’s mixtapes in 90s, many of which were banned by the Puerto Rican government for explicit lyrics. He is considered to be one of the pioneers with the Reggaeton genre, and is actually credited as being the one who coined the term “Reggaeton” in 1994, along with DJ Playero. The two used the term to describe their music on their 1994 album “Playero 36”.

In 1997, Ayala collaborated with the rapper Nas on the song “The Profecy”. Then he released two compilation albums “El Cartel” (1997) and “El Cartel II” (2001). They were very successful in Puerto Rico, but failed to gain any traction in the rest of Latin America. Daddy Yankee first true international success came in 2002, when he released the album “El Cangri.com”.

Other projects he worked on during this early period in his career include a collaboration with Nicky Jam, known as Los Cangris; a compilation album “Los Homerun-es” (2003); and the albums “Mas Flow” (2003) and “Mas Flow 2” (2005), which he worked on with prestigious reggaetón producers Luny Tunes.

Daddy Yankee continued his success as a featured artist on N.O.R.E.’s single “Oye Mi Canto” (2004), which hit number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 2005, he won several international awards, solidifying his position as a leading Latin music artist. These awards include Album of the Year for “Barrio Fino” at Lo Nuestro Awards; Reggaeton Album of the Year at the Latin Billboard Awards; 8 nominations and seven awards for “Gasolina” as the second edition of Premios Juventud; and nominations for “Gasolina” at the Latin Grammy and MTV Video Music Awards”.

The success of “Gasolina” actually led to the creation of a new radio format in the United States, as well as a new Billboard chart, “Latin Rhythm Airplay”. In 2006, Daddy Yankee was named one of the 100 most influential people by Time magazine, citing the over 2 million copies of “Barrio Fino” sold, as well as his $20 million contract with Interscope records, and Pepsi endorsement.

Since then, Daddy Yankee has released several more albums including “El Cartel: The Big Boss” (2007), “Mundial” (2010), and “Prestige” (2012). He also has made guest appearances on the reggaetón compilation albums “Caribbean Connection” (2008), “Echo Presenta: Invasión” (2007), and “Mas Flow: Los Benjamins” (2006). One of Daddy Yankee most significant releases since “Gasolina” was the 2017 single “Despacito“, a collaboration with Latin pop singer Luis Fonsi. It was the first Spanish-language song to hit number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 since “Macarena” in 1996.

Additionally, the music video for “Despacito” received its billionth view on April 20, 2017, and thus became the most watched video in YouTube history at the time. The success of “Despacito” led to Daddy Yankee become the most listened-to artist worldwide on the streaming service Spotify in 2017; he was the first Latin artist to achieve this.
