Jan Carlos Ozuna Rosado, nacido y criado en Puerto Rico el día 13 de marzo de 1992, en la cual asistió a la Academia el Sagrado Corazón, donde culminó sus estudios a nivel superior.

Ozuna, tal y como se apoda artísticamente, es intérprete y cantautor del género urbano, influenciado principalmente por su familia de músicos y bailarines en la que creció, y quienes le inculcaron la música como forma de vida y sustento. 

Sus inicios como compositor se dan a sus 12 años, cuando Ozuna comienza a escribir canciones para otras personas, amistades y cantantes que conocían el talento que tiene este joven para hacer de sus letras un éxito musical. Fue en ese preciso momento en el que Jan Ozuna se da cuenta de que no solo podía ser bueno 
para componer, sino también para cantar y convertirse en un gran intérprete.

 El género musical elegido por este talentoso chico fue el urbano, en el cual intenta marcar una gran diferencia, y es ahí donde se reconoce el talento de un joven que no quiere ser igual a los demás, quiere cambiar un paradigma que poco a poco ha venido construyendo su éxito en Puerto Rico, y es que Ozuna compone y canta canciones inspiradas en la belleza de la mujer, y su absoluta admiración por aquellas que en especial son luchadoras e independientes, todo esto sin caer en lo vulgar.. Su inspiración para marcar esta diferencia ha sido su pequeña hija de 1 año de edad, a quien le canta con respeto, entendiendo que cada letra que escribe es un legado, y espera que en un futura su hija jamás se sienta ofendida por alguna de sus canciones.

Durante siete años este chico trabajó incansablemente para como él mismo dice “ser alguien en la música”. Algunos éxitos y otras derrotas le enseñaron que el camino es largo, pero que su talento es valioso. Actualmente en este año 2015, Ozuna es un chico que ha logrado coronarse por más de 13 semanas consecutivas en los primeros lugares de las listas de canciones más escuchadas en Puerto Rico, todo esto gracias a su nueva producción musical que lleva por nombre “Odisea”, la cual se estrenará en su totalidad en Marzo del 2016,”bajo el sello independiente puertorriqueño VP Records, disquera perteneciente a su nuevo equipo de manejo VP Entertainment. De este disco nació el tema “Si no te quiere”, producido por Super Yei y Yancci,  el cual actualmente se escucha en países de América Latina, y se encuentra colocando con gran rapidez   en el mercado latino de los Estados Unidos, en ciudades importantes como Miami, Orlando, Philadelphia, Nueva York, buscando también encabezar las listas de las canciones más sonadas de la país.

“Si no te quiere”,  es un tema que ha logrado catapultar el talento de este cantante lleno de sueños, que poco a poco está haciendo realidad. Artistas internacionales del género urbano de la talla de Arcángel y Farruko ya reconocen el talento de este artista y participaron en la nueva version (remix)  del tema que ya esta programado en todas las emisoras de radio. 

Ozuna, afirma que su meta es siempre mantener su humildad, cualidad que siempre lo ha  caracterizado. Que su más grande ídolo es Dios, y su anhelo más grande es seguir evolucionando como cantautor para poder llevar su música con orgullo a territorios que nunca antes imaginó.

It seems like an eternity that Ed Hale and his bandmates in Transcendence have been in the studio "recording the new album", the follow up to Hale's last solo effort Ballad On Third Avenue. What started out as a few weeks in the studio in New York during the summer of 2012 turned into a lengthy affair that has seen the band recording in studios all over the country for almost three years and yielded over 45 songs recorded in all. 

What we know: Dying Van Gogh Records has confirmed that they will release four new Ed Hale albums over the next year containing songs from these sessions. The first album will be the most "accessibly pop" SO FOR REAL which will also yield the first single, "Summer Flowers", and will feature at least ten new songs plus bonus material including "Tell ya True", "Marsha's Sleeping", "The Prince of New York", "Honestly" and "Gimme Some Rock 'n' Roll" among others.  

They have also confirmed that the long rumored ANOTHER DAY IN THE APOCALYPSE -- considered "the most eclectic of the bunch" -- will be released as well, though it will be an EP rather than a full length.   

There is also confirmation that the long lost originally intended album from the sessions, BORN TO LOSE, will also most likely see a release date this year with the title track set to release as another of the first singles from the sessions to come out later this year. 

Finally, the label has also agreed to release a handful of outtakes from the sessions in an EP later this year entitled WELCOME TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.

ED HALE's last album, the aforementioned Ballad On Third Avenue, blasted the singer to new heights of success spawning three Billboard Top 40 hit singles, "Scene in San Francisco", "New Orleans Dreams" and "I Walk Alone", all in the Adult Contemporary radio format, a big change from and stark contrast to the Alternative format the band was formally associated with.

All Ed Hale and Ed Hale and the Transcendence songs and albums are avail for download on iTunes, Amazon & wherever music is sold, along with Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music and other online radio stations.

His unquenchable thirst for newness is precisely why this native New Yorker remains at the top of his game into the new decade - “It’s about keeping an open mind,” as Morales says. In 2020, due to the global pandemic and inability to travel, he launched, Sunday Mass, a livestreaming show on Twitch to entertain his fans across the world. The 2021 IMS Business Report based on data, cited him as one of the dance music artists who experienced online success during the pandemic. Into post-pandemic times and with the reopening of clubs all over the world, David continued his legacy as a native New Yorker and trailblazing DJ, constantly gracing the best international stages with recent standout performances such as the Hacienda Warehouse Project in Manchester, Clockwork Orange in London, Stereo Montreal, EDC Vegas, Hi Ibiza, and After Caposile Venice.

HISTORY
David Morales honed his skills as a DJ in the 1980s and 1990s at such legendary clubs as the Ozone Layer, Paradise Garage, Red Zone, Zanzibar, Tunnel and Club USA just to name a few. When the remix and DJ work began taking off, Morales teamed up with house music legend, Frankie Knuckles, and For The Record DJ Pool founder/NYC nightlife impresario, Judy Weinstein, to create Def Mix Productions.
Morales’ prolific production career kicked into high gear in the 1990s with the release of his solo debut album, “The Program” by David Morales & The Bad Yard Club. In the late-1990s, with hundreds of remixes (Mariah Carey’s “Dreamlover,” Janet Jackson’s “Throb,” Alison Limerick’s “Where Love Lives,” CeCe Peniston’s “Finally,” Jamiroquai’s “Space Cowboy”, Jaydee’s “Plastic Dreams,” Robert Owens’ “I’ll Be Your Friend,” under his belt, Morales recorded the groundbreaking house classic, “Needin’ U,” under the alias David Morales Presents The Face. Morales’ second album, “2 Worlds Collide,” arrived in 2005, followed six years later, by his third album, “Changes.” 
David Morales was nominated for his first Grammy Award in 1996 as a Producer on Mariah Carey’s album, ‘Daydream’ for the song ‘Fantasy’. In 1998 he won a Grammy Award for “Remixer of the Year.”
Though Morales’ past is surely one for music’s history books, the DJ-turned-artist always has his eyes firmly focused on the future—on what lies ahead. He keeps an ear to the ground, regularly exploring new music, new artists, and hotly tipped DJs who might inspire him to “go and do my homework.” He happily embraces the new generation of clubgoers. “They don’t care about yesterday”, he says, with a knowing smile.
