ABOUT RYAN CASTRO:
Ryan Castro is a global reggaeton and dancehall artist whose impact extends far beyond music—bridging culture, community, sports, and entrepreneurship. Dubbed as "El Cantante Del Ghetto”, Castro is a Colombian artist whose journey from street busking in Medellín's Pedregal neighborhood to global stardom is nothing short of remarkable.
Before his breakthrough with the single “Morena” in 2017, Ryan lived in Curaçao, where he immersed himself in reggae and dancehall—sounds that continue to define his Caribbean-infused musical identity. He rose to international prominence with hits like “Mujeriego” and “Jordan,” both of which landed on the Billboard Global 200 and Spotify’s Global Top 50. His Diamond-certified smash “QUEMA” alongside Peso Pluma further cemented his place among the world’s top Latin artists.
In 2024, Ryan released his RIAA 2x Platinum-certified debut album El Cantante Del Ghetto and delivered the global, viral anthem “El Ritmo Que Nos Une” for Colombia’s National Soccer Team—an unprecedented cultural moment that united music and sports. That same year, Rolling Stone U.S. named him a Future 25 honoree, recognizing him as one of the artists shaping the future of global music and culture.
Ryan followed with a landmark 2025, driven by sold-out U.S. arena tours, becoming the first Colombian artist to acquire equity in a professional sports team—Paisas Basketball Club, based in his hometown of Medellín—and launching one of Colombia’s most successful entertainment-brand collaborations to date: his Jumbo “Romantik Style” chocolate bar, which surpassed 1.2 million units sold. That same year, he released two critically acclaimed albums—Sendé and Hopi Sendé—which spotlight his Caribbean essence, shaped by the dancehall and reggae influences he absorbed while living in Curacao.
In 2026, Ryan’s momentum reached new heights as his hit single “La Villa,” from his third album Hopi Sendé, became a global phenomenon—hitting #4 Global Trending on YouTube, entering the Top 100 Global Charts, reaching #1 in Colombia, Honduras, Panama, and Costa Rica, and securing Top 50 placements across Latin America. Today, Ryan Castro stands as one of the biggest and best-selling Latin artists in the world, continuously breaking barriers and redefining what it means to be a global artist—on stage, in culture, and beyond.
