Ivy Queen is one of the world’s most respected and successful reggaeton artists. With a discography that spans over two decades, three Top 10 spots on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums Chart, and countless awards – including three Latin Grammy nominations – she’s revered by fans of Latin music across the globe, who have dubbed her the Queen of Reggaeton, or La Diva.

Born in Puerto Rico and later relocating to NYC, Ivy Queen released her debut studio album En Mi Imperio in 1996. After a sophomore release on Sony Records, she found instant fame with the independently released 2003 record Diva. The album ended up earning Platinum certification from the RIAA, a feat matched by both Flashback and the Grammy-nominated Sentimiento, projects released in the ‘00s to widespread acclaim. Since then, the reigning Queen of Reggaeton has earned Latin Grammy nominations for two more albums (2011’s Drama Queen and 2013’s Musa ), worked with Pitbull, Daddy Yankee, Nicky Jam, and Sasha, while taking home two Latin Grammy Awards for the 2009 single “Dime”.

In recent years, Ivy Queen has confirmed her status as a symbol of female empowerment and a musical trailblazer. Burning brightly in a genre traditionally dominated by male acts, she’s proven that talent always outshines gender while inspiring the next generation of female reggaeton artists. Her latest release, the EP Llego La Queen, features four incendiary singles that have been prompted critics to claim that Ivy Queen “remains one of the most respected and admired artists in the industry.”
