ABOUT RAUW ALEJANDRO Puerto Rican singer and songwriter Rauw Alejandro, a Latin GRAMMY® winner and four-time GRAMMY® nominee, has led the new generation of Latin music artists since his appearance in 2016. One of the fastest-rising reggaeton artists, Rauw has collaborated with Pharrell Williams (“Airplane Tickets”), Shakira (“Te Felicito”), Selena Gomez (“Baila Conmigo”), Anuel AA (“Reloj”) and Camilo (“Tattoo”), among others. His meteoric rise as one of the most prominent figures in Latin urban music is undeniable and, through his continuous musical evolution, he continues to deliver fresh and innovative sounds that keep him at the top of the genre.

His debut album Afrodisíaco, certified 6x Platinum by RIAA Latina and released in November 2020, earned him his first GRAMMY® nomination for “Best Urban Music Album” and also a Latin GRAMMY® nomination for “Best New Artist”.
In 2021, his second studio album, Vice Versa, debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Latin Album chart, #3 on Spotify's Top Debut Album, and #1 on Apple Music's Latin Album charts. The album also topped the Best Albums of 2021 lists in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, NPR, and Billboard. In 2022, Rauw released his third studio album, Saturno, to excellent reviews. The album was nominated for a GRAMMY® for "Best Urban Music Album" and featured collaborations with Baby Rasta, DJ Playero, Chris Palace, Arcángel, Súbelo NEO, Lyanno, and Brray.
Billboard named it "one of the most eclectic reggaeton-pop albums." In 2023, Rauw released his fourth studio album, Playa Saturno. This 14-song "spin-off" of Saturno includes collaborations with Jowell y Randy, Miguel Bosé, and Junior H.
In November 2024, he released his highly anticipated fifth album, Cosa Nuestra, which debuted #1 globally on the Apple Music and Spotify charts, making Rauw one of the few Latin artists to achieve this milestone and #1 on Billboard's Latin Albums chart and #6 on the Billboard Top 200.
