Maluma

Maluma is the stage name of award-winning Colombian artist Juan Luis Londoño Arias. He is one of less than 30 performing artists with over 25 million YouTube followers. His debut Magia endeared him to radio listeners across Latin America. His 2015 album Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy, broke through in the U.S., landing on the upper rungs of Latin Pop, Urban, and Tropical Charts.

Colombian pop star Maluma made up his stage name as a tribute to his family. At 16, he cut his first independent single, 'Farandulera.' Maluma was the featured vocalist on Elvis Crespo's hit 'Ole Brazil,' recorded for the World Cup. In 2017, he was named 'Artist of the Year' at the Premios Lo Nuestro. The video for 'Chantage' by Shakira became massively popular, racking up over one billion views online within five months.
