Born Emmanuel Gazmey Santiago in Carolina, Puerto Rico, in 1992, Anuel AA began his journey in music at an early age. Influenced by his father, José Gazmey, who worked in Sony Music Entertainment’s A&R department and had connections with salsa legends like Héctor Lavoe, Anuel AA started recording music at age fourteen and posting it online by eighteen in 2010. His distinct style, characterized by explicit lyrics about sex, crime, and street life, quickly gained traction, leading to millions of streams and views. This early success captured the attention of American rapper Rick Ross, who signed Anuel AA to the Latin division of Maybach Music Group. His career gained significant momentum with the release of his mixtape ‘Real Hasta la Muerte’ in February 2016, which earned positive critical reviews and set the stage for his breakthrough in the Latin music scene.
Despite his rising popularity, Anuel AA’s career faced an unexpected interruption in April 2016 when he was arrested for illegal firearm possession. He was subsequently sentenced to 30 months in federal prison. During his incarceration, the Latin trap genre experienced a surge in popularity, and Anuel AA continued to work on his music, recording vocals over the phone and completing his debut album while in a Miami halfway house. On July 17, 2018, the day of his release, he launched his debut album, also titled ‘Real Hasta la Muerte’. The album was both a critical and commercial success, charting on the Billboard 200 and topping the US Top Latin Albums chart, marking a significant turning point in his career. His collaboration with 6ix9ine on “Bebe” in August 2018 became his first Billboard Hot 100 hit, further solidifying his status as a prominent artist.
Following his release and the album’s success, Anuel AA consistently delivered hit singles and albums. He contributed to eleven Billboard Hot Latin Songs-charting singles within six months of his album’s release and collaborated with major artists like Nicki Minaj, Daddy Yankee, Karol G, Ozuna, J Balvin, and Shakira. In May 2020, he released his second album, ‘Emmanuel’, which featured a wide array of collaborations and reinforced his global appeal. He has since released additional studio albums, including ‘Las Leyendas Nunca Mueren’ in 2021 and ‘LLNM2’ in 2022, and engaged in various tours, demonstrating his continued influence and productivity in the music industry. He has also expanded his ventures into NFTs and brand partnerships, showcasing a multifaceted approach to his career.
