BIOGRAPHY
Justin Rafael Quiles Rivera was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and raised in Puerto Rico before moving back to the U.S. to finish high school. Inspired by his brother's taste for salsa, hip hop and reggaeton icons like Tego Calderón and Don Omar, he wrote his first song at 13. After relocating to Orlando, Florida, he recorded his debut single, "Algo Contigo," with producer Lelo, and signed to Rich Music in 2013. His full length debut, La Promesa, topped the Latin Rhythm Albums chart and reached number two on Top Latin Albums; its single "Si Ella Quisiera" went platinum in Spain. Quiles earned a Premios Juventud nomination for Best New Artist in 2017 and a Latin Grammy nomination for "Porfa." He has also written for J Balvin, Maluma, Karol G and Yandel, and released Superarte, a collaborative album with Lenny Tavárez.
