Lunay is the Baby-Faced Heartthrob Reggaetón Deserves
At around 15, Lunay started making music after reconsidering his first goal of playing professional soccer. From the time he started experimenting with his sound as a teenager, he discovered an innate ear for catchy hooks. His melodic approach to reggaetón puts him in line with the legacy of a predecessor like Daddy Yankee, who brought reggaetón’s signature dem bow rhythm to radios all over the world before Lunay was in grade school, and Bad Bunny whose inventive take on the genre has made him arguably the most visible person doing it.
