Puerto Rican Singer Juan Carlos known as ‘Ozuna’ charts our AOTW

Juan Carlos Ozuna Rosado (Spanish pronunciation: [xwaŋ ˈkaɾlos oˈsuna roˈsaðo]; born March 13, 1992), known simply by his surname Ozuna, is a Puerto Rican singer, born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico to a Dominican father and a Puerto Rican mother. Drawing influence from the Latin music he grew up on, he decided to pursue a singing career at age twelve. Hoping to escape the violence and poverty of his
neighborhood, he moved to the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City in 2010. While there, the artist learned how to produce and promote his own music videos, and made his first video with a budget of under US$100. However, he viewed Washington Heights to be equally violent and impoverished as his hometown, and returned to Puerto Rico with his wife and two children after three years in New York.
