Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez — known worldwide as Daddy Yankee — is the artist who brought reggaeton to the global mainstream. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, he started making music in the early '90s and steadily built a reputation as one of Latin music's most innovative voices. But it was "Gasolina" in 2004 that changed everything — the track became a worldwide phenomenon and made reggaeton a dominant force in pop music. Since then, Daddy Yankee has been the genre's undisputed king.
His discography is stacked with hits. Barrio Fino (2004) is one of the best-selling Latin albums of all time. "Despacito" (2017, with Luis Fonsi) became the first Spanish-language song to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in over 20 years and went on to become one of the most-viewed videos in YouTube history. On Spotify, Daddy Yankee commands tens of millions of monthly listeners, with tracks like "Gasolina," "Despacito," "Con Calma," "Lo Que Pasó, Pasó," "Rompe," and "Dura" keeping his streams massive.
After announcing his retirement from music in 2022 and completing the Legendaddy farewell tour, Daddy Yankee surprised the world by coming back. In 2025, he released the album Lamento en Baile under the new moniker DY, marking a creative reinvention that builds on his reggaeton roots while pushing into new territory. He returned to the stage for a special performance on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve in Puerto Rico and participated in Billboard Latin Music Week's "Power of Reinvention" panel.
The La Última Vuelta Tour followed in summer 2026, running from August 10 at Moda Center in Portland through September 20 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The tour proved that the demand for Daddy Yankee live is as strong as ever — the man who made reggaeton a global force isn't going anywhere.
