Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez (born February 3, 1977), known by his stage name Daddy Yankee, is a Puerto Rican reggaeton singer, rapper, songwriter, producer and actor. Ayala was born in Río Piedras, San Juan, Puerto Rico, and was raised in the neighborhood of Villa Kennedy Housing Projects.[1] He played a very importart part in turning reggaeton into a mainstream genre alongside Wisin & Yandel, Don Omar, Tego Calderón, Ivy Queen and the retired Hector El Father.

Ayala aspired to be a professional baseball player, and tried out for the Seattle Mariners Major League baseball team. Before he could be officially signed, he was hit by a stray round from an AK-47 rifle while taking a break from a studio recording session with reggaeton mix tape icon DJ Playero circa 1992. He spent roughly one and a half years recovering from the wound; the bullet was never removed from his hip, and he credits the shooting incident with allowing him to focus entirely on a music career. That incident is the central theme of his songs «Coraza Divina» (2007) and «6 De Enero» (2012).[1]

He played a very important part in reggaeton's international success through his single «Gasolina» and his album Barrio Fino, which was the first reggaeton album to achieve a standard platinum certification by the RIAA for 1,000,000 copies sold in the United States.[2] Barrio Fino and Barrio Fino En Directo were part of the three best selling Latin albums in the US during the 2000s decade. He released 7 studio albums, a compilation album, 2 mixtapes, 2 live albums and a soundtrack as of 2013. Since 2007, he holds a reggaeton record for most copies sold in the US during the first week of its release with his album El Cartel: The Big Boss. His 2013 album King Daddy was the first only-digital Latin album to reach the top 10 in Billboard charts. He has sold over 18 million albums worldwide during his 25-year-long career.[3] Currently he is working on his next studio album, titled King Daddy II: Elemento DY, scheduled to be released during 2016.

He has also a small film career, leading the 2004's short film El Cangri, making a cameo appearance in Vampires (2005), and having a lead role in the 2007's docummentary film Straight Outta Puerto Rico and his own film Talento De Barrio (2008), which soundtrack achieved a double Latin platinum certification for 200,000 copies sold in the US. The movie earned more than 2 million dollars from the box office as of September 2008.[4] Ayala also made other appearances in TV series, including 6 episodes as guest in the US 27-years-long soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful in 2010, and was also one of the three coaches in La Voz Kids during the show's third and fourth season.

As to awards and nominations, Daddy Yankee is the reggaeton most awarded artist and also the most nominated. Between 2005 and 2015, he won 68 awards and lost 149 times. His first award was a 2005 Lo Nuestro Award for Urban Album of the Year, and his last one was a 2016 Premio Tu Mundo for Favorite Urban Artist. Mixing both winning and losses, Ayala was nominated a total of 215 times since his raise to international fame in 2004.
