The Colombian singer is cementing his name in music with collaborations with Karol G, Peso Pluma and more.
Ryan Castro is comfortably sitting in a lounge chair with a collection of Funko figurines that reach the ceiling behind him. He’s becoming a major star in his own right, but chatting with the 29-year-old Colombian singer and songwriter feels like hanging with a friend.
Hailing from the Pedregal neighborhood of Medellín, Colombia, the 29-year-old knew from a young age that he wanted to be an artist. He had an affinity for hip-hop and rap, listening to Tupac, Wu-Tang Clan, Notorious B.I.G. and more. As he got older, he started listening to a variety of genres, including reggae, dance and Spanish-language music, instantly “falling in love” with reggaeton “because it had the same flows” as hip-hop.
“That was my beginning,” he recalls. “I would look for every opportunity, and even now I have that same mentality. Everything that comes my way, that is good for my career, I try to take advantage of it and squeeze the juice out of it, as they say. But that story about how I would sing on the buses in Colombia, is so dear to me and I keep it in mind .
