Eladio Carrion

Eladio Carrion Morales was born on November 14, 1994, in Kansas City, Kansas, to a Puerto Rican family. Due to his father’s military service, his family moved frequently, living in Hawaii, Baltimore, New York, and Alaska before relocating to Humacao, Puerto Rico, when he was 11. In his youth, Carrion demonstrated talent in swimming, representing Puerto Rico at the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games and the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara, Mexico, where he reached the preliminary phase of the 200-meter breaststroke. After 2012, Carrion transitioned from competitive swimming to focus on an artistic career, initially gaining traction as an influencer on digital platforms like Vine and Instagram by creating comedic videos.

Carrion’s musical career began in 2015 with his first collaboration, “2×2” with Flowsito, followed by “No Quiero Más Amigos Nuevos.” These early works helped him establish his presence in the music industry. In 2016, he collaborated with Jon Z and Neo Pistea on “Súbelo,” which gained popularity in nightclubs, and again with Rawenz on “Si Te Vas, Vete.” His official debut as a singer came in 2017 with “Me Enamoré de una Yal,” featuring Ele A el Dominio and Ñengo Flow, released under Los de la Nazza record label. This single achieved top positions on SoundCloud and Spotify, marking a turning point in his career.

The period from 2018 to 2019 saw Carrion collaborating with various artists, including Amenazzy on “Dame una Hora,” Myke Towers and Darkiel on “Sigue Bailándome,” and Rauw Alejandro on “Dice Que No.” His single “Mi Cubana” was particularly successful, leading to a remix featuring Cazzu, Khea, and Ecko. In 2019, he received his first musical award nomination for Nueva generación urbana at the Premios Juventud. Further career milestones include the release of his debut album _Sauce Boyz_ in 2020, which reached number 8 on the _Billboard_ Top Latin Albums chart, and his first Latin Grammy nomination for “Kemba Walker” with Bad Bunny. He continued to release successful albums such as _Monarca_ (2021) and _3men2 Kbrn_ (2023), with _Monarca_ earning him a Latin Grammy nomination for Best Urban Music Album, and _3men2 Kbrn_ leading to a 2023 Latin Grammy Award for Best Rap/Hip Hop Song for “Coco Chanel” with Bad Bunny.
