Wisin y Yandel

Wisin & Yandel, the dynamic reggaeton duo from Cayey, Puerto Rico, have been making music together since 1995 and have been unstoppable ever since. Juan Luis Morera, Wisin, was born December 19,1978. Llandel Veguilla Malave Salazar, Yandel, was born on January 14, 1977. Wisin is married to Yomaira Ortiz and together the two have one daughter, Yelena, and one son, Dylan. Yandel is married to Edneris Espada, and they have two sons, Adrian and Derek. Before Wisin & Yandel began their careers as reggaeton artists, Yandel was studying theatre and acting, while Wisin was working as a barber. The two fell in love with reggae-Panamanian Dancehall music, later named reggaeton, and jumped into the underground music scene in Puerto Rico. When reggaeton was in its beginnings, most of the albums made came from DJ's putting several of their artists that they were promoting and combining them all on one disc. Wisin y Yandel began doing this and followed the same route as many of the other artists in the industry, beginning their journey to sucess. Wisin y Yandel soon became an instant sucess and are now the hottest names in reggaeton. From all of their success and the realease of nine studio albums, Wisin y Yandel have become the number one artists on the Reggaeton scence, and they do not look as though they will be leaving the number one spot any time soon. Their biggest moment thus far was when the duo decided to start their own record label, call it WY Records, and take some of the smaller names on the reggaeton scene and make them some of the biggest names that reggaeton has ever seen. The record label has succeeded in its goal and is now the number one records label for reggaeton artists.
