DON OMAR


William Omar Landron Rivera, singer and songwriter best known as Don Omar, is a leading international star of reggaetón. His top hits "Dale Don Dale", "Dile", "Pobre Diabla", "Angelito Vuela", "Cuéntale" y "Reggaeton Latino" were hugely successful in many countries.

 

Born in Puerto Rico on February 10th, 1978, he started writing songs at the age of 12. His early musical career started when he was the leading voice in the choir of the church "Restauración en Christ" in Bayamón, where he was pastor for four years, but due to a romantic relationship he was forced to abandon his votes.

 

In 2002, Don Omar's career took an important turn when Tito "El Bambino", member of the duo Héctor y Tito, decided to help him. During this period, assuming the alias Don Omar he composed some songs for other singers, including Tito himself.

 

In 2003, he released "The Last Don", his first solo album, which includes a success which will be one of the best songs of the history of reggaetón, "Dale Don Dale".

 

In 2005, he released “Da Presents Hitman: Reggaeton Latino”. In the same year, he produced an album with various artists, entitled "Los Bandoleros". Meanwhile, he developed several successful collaborations with other artists: "Como Olvidar" with David Bisbal, "Ella Y Yo" by Aventura, "My Space" and "Nadie Como Tu" with Wisin y Yandel, "Hold You Down" with Jennifer López.

 

With the album "King of Kings" (2006) Don Omar reaches the no. 1 in Latin radio charts of the United States and throughout Latin America and he became to all intents and purposes "El Rey" of Reggaetón. The album reached number one in sales and the album's first single, "Angelito Vuela" is no. 1 on Billboard's Latin Chart, selling about half a million of copies in the first day of release . That is considered a true record in the genre of reggaeton.  In late 2006, he released the special edition of "King Of Kings" called "Armageddon Edition", with 3 bonus tracks.

 

This album was followed in 2009 by "iDon" and in 2010 by "iDon Prototype 2.0".

 

In 2011, the great success of "Meet The Orphans", and its first single, "Hasta Abajo" entered the top 10 of Billboard. The second single, "Danza Kuduro" was a worldwide hit and was nominated for "Top Latin Song" at the Billboard Music Awards. The third single "Taboo" was yet another success that had topped the Billboard charts.

 

In May of 2012 he released the album "MTO ² New Generation", and in Italy this album is produced thanks to a collaboration between the multinational company Universal and Planet Records. This album is going to become the next huge hit of the year!
