Bad Bunny – Latin reggae singer

Bad Bunny’s real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. He was born on 10 March 1994 in Puerto Rico. The young man was growing up in a full family with traditional values. He has two brothers. At the moment, Antonio isn’t married but seems to be dating someone. He does a great job hiding his girlfriend’s name from the persistent reporters.

Ocasio loved music since childhood. The artist told the reporters that he dreamed about a music career since kindergarten. Later, he finished audiovisual communication courses in the University of Puerto Rico. This knowledge eventually helped Bad Bunny with his work in the music industry. As a teenager, Antonio worked in a supermarket. He spent all of his free time recording songs. The song “Diles”, which he uploaded on the internet, caught the attention of a successful DJ Luian. Thanks to his assistance, Bad Bunny signed a contract with Hear This Music. The contract allowed him to release his own songs and work with successful reggae artists.
