J Balvin is the stage name of José Álvaro Osorio Balvín, from Medellín, Colombia. Balvin is a reggaeton singer whose polished urban singles and best-selling albums have made him a top-tier Latin pop artist. He became interested in music at a young age while listening to rap, champeta, bachata, and reggae on the radio. He was also a big fan of music videos; it was from these that he began to develop his dance moves and cultivate his own style.

He signed to EMI Colombia in 2009 and released his first single, "Ella Me Cautivó," which charted at 35 on the U.S. tropical chart. This was followed by the release of the full-length Real in 2010. Balvin contributed four tunes to the soundtrack of the Tim Bulot film El Negocio. All of them charted, including "En Lo Oscuro," which hit the top spot in his native country.

La FamiliaBalvin was a featured vocalist on the Colombian version of Robin Thicke's smash single "Blurred Lines," which was issued in October of 2013, just prior to his own second album, La Familia. All four singles from the album charted in Colombia's Top Ten, and "Yo Te Lo Dije" hit number two on the rhythm chart and number nine on the Latin pop chart in the U.S. The B Sides collection appeared in September of 2014, featuring two more radio chart-topping singles in "6 AM" and "Ay Vamos." The latter won a Latin Grammy for Best Urban Song. His 2015 single "Ginza," the offcial pre-release for his next album, entered the Hot Latin Songs chart at number one, topped several others, and was certified platinum.
EnergíaBalvin's collaborations were as notable as his own work that year. He and Julión Álvarez were featured on Juan Gabriel's single "La Frontera." His "Latino Remix" of Justin Bieber's smash "Sorry" scored big for both artists at Latin pop radio and in digital streaming and downloads. The following year, Balvin won the Premios Lo Nuestro Artist of the Year Award and was a featured guest on both Sofia Carson's charting debut single "Love Is the Name" and on Alejandro Sanz's "Cuando Seas Grande" -- from a performance at La Voz -- along with Gloria Trevi and Los Tigres del Norte. In May, he released the single "Bobo," produced by Pharrell Williams, who also appeared on the track along with Mosty and Bia. It topped the Latin songs chart. The full-length, Energia, was produced by Sky and featured additional contributions from Bull Nene, Daddy Yankee, Fuego, Yandel, and Juanes.

Dirigenta (Bulgarian word for conductor/maestro) has been obsessed with dance music since his young years growing up in Sofia. This passion led him to the studios of The National Television where he quickly gained professional knowledge and fell in love with all forms of sound engineering. 

At 15, Dirigenta got his first turntable deck and immediately began to spin at house parties until his move to the United States. By the time he reached 21, you could find him in the hottest house scenes with residencies at clubs such as ECCO, Playhouse, Cabana Club, Vanguard, to name a few.  Within just a few years, Dirigenta became one of the biggest names to hit the scene in Los Angeles. His name has now reached headline status and he currently has residencies with followers spanning from Eastern Europe to California.

Dirigenta is a trailblazer who has broken barriers at every turn. He has never been afraid to experiment with new sounds, new genres, new cities, and most importantly, new cultures. This has been self-evident throughout his career and it is still so today, as he presently collaborates with Myhell Enterprises for the hottest Balkan Sessions in Hollywood. 

Dirigenta is not just house, dubstep, or techno, but he encompasses all genres of the dance music phenomenon from Sofia. What he spins is not dictated by the industry and he believes that its standards are a hopelessly outdated way of seeing today’s cross-genre scene.
