About Maluma

Juan Luis Londoño Arias was born in Medellín, Colombia on January 28, 1994, and grew up in the same northern-Antioquia music ecosystem that produced Karol G and J Balvin — the three of them came up out of overlapping neighborhood scenes within walking distance of each other and trade producers, songwriters, and DJ talent across their respective camps. He was a youth-league soccer player and turned down a contract with Atlético Nacional's academy before music took over, recording his first single Farandulera at sixteen with help from his uncle, who produced the early tracks in a home studio, and releasing it through a tiny Medellín indie label that mostly functioned as a calling card for the majors. The stage name Maluma comes from the first two letters of his mother Marlli, brother Julián, and sister Manuela's first names — a family construction he kept after Sony Music Colombia signed him within months of the early uploads. His debut album Magia dropped in 2012 — a pure reggaeton record aimed squarely at Colombian radio that registered locally without breaking outside the country. The pivot started with Pretty Boy Dirty Boy in 2015, the album that introduced Borro Cassette as a regional hit and gave him his first sustained chart presence across Latin America. Felices los 4 arrived in 2017 and became the singalong record that pushed his name past the urbano core into mainstream Latin pop, and the Shakira collaboration Chantaje from her El Dorado album the same year became one of the most-streamed Spanish-language tracks of the decade. F.A.M.E. (2018) broke him onto the Billboard 200 and won the Latin Grammy for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album — a category swing that signaled the major-label push to position him beyond the reggaeton lane. 11:11 (2019) and Papi Juancho (2020) cemented the formula; Hawái from Papi Juancho became the pandemic-era global crossover, charting in over two dozen countries and powering a Weeknd remix that pushed the streaming numbers further. 7 Días en Jamaica (2021) and The Love & Sex Tape (2022) were shorter projects between full-length cycles. Don Juan (2023) arrived as a concept album built around the legendary-lover archetype, and +Pretty +Dirty (2024) closed a stylistic loop with the 2015 breakout. Acting expanded the public profile substantially — a featured role in Marry Me opposite Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson in 2022, then a turn in Magic Mike's Last Dance with Channing Tatum and Salma Hayek directed by Steven Soderbergh in 2023. Business interests across Royalty World, his label imprint with WK Entertainment, his Royalty by Maluma cigar line, and luxury brand partnerships with Versace and Balmain rounded out the off-stage portfolio that pushed him onto Hollywood Reporter and Variety coverage cycles in addition to Billboard and Rolling Stone.
