Don Omar became one of reggaetons first international superstars, thanks to his early-2000s work with Luny Tunes, but even more so to "Reggaeton Latino," his 2005 anthem that became one of the styles first genuine crossover hits. Born William Omar Landrón on February 10, 1978, in Villa Palmeras, Puerto Rico, Omar got involved in the church at a young age.
He became a preacher; eventually left the church and channeled his talents toward music. It wasnt that far of a stretch from his days in the church, and Omar quickly took to the burgeoning reggaeton movement then sweeping through Puerto Rico.
His big break came courtesy of the popular duo Héctor & Tito, initially Omar produced and wrote songs for the duo, but it wasnt long before he was given the opportunity to collaborate with them vocally, as featured on the song "A la Reconquista." His solo career took off around this same time, with one of his first hits being "Desde Que Llego" in 2002. He made his album debut the following year on the VI Music label.
