Juanes

Singer, Songwritter and Activist

Born and raised in Medellín, Colombia, Juanes is unquestionably Latin Rock’s leading global ambassador and champion for social change. Hailed by TIME as “one of the 100 Most-Influential People in the World,” and The New York Times as “Latin America's hottest singer-songwriter… a soulful poet with electric guitar”.

Juanes is the only artist holding TWO of Billboard’s”Top-5 Latin Pop Songs of All-Time,” has 12 #1 U.S. singles to his credit, and has collected a staggering TWENTY-FIVE combined GRAMMY & Latin Grammy Awards. 

Known for his distinctive sound that fuses a deep love of rock & pop music with smartly crafted, multi-layered songwriting and a deep reverence for the traditional folk and traditional  rhythms of Colombia and Latin America, Juanes has sold millions of records around the world and was honoured as “The 2019 Latin Recording Academy Person Of The Year” recognizing his “creative artistry, unprecedented humanitarian efforts, support for rising artists, and philanthropic contributions to the world”. 

In 2021 Juanes released his first ever covers album paying tribute directly to some of the very special artists themselves from which he found his greatest influences. With this album he won his third Anglo Grammy for Best Latin Rock or Alternative Album and his twenty-fifth Latin Grammy for Pop Rock Album.
