About Nicky Jam

Nick Rivera Caminero, known as Nicky Jam, is recognized around the world as a pioneer of Latin Urban music. As a young adult, Nicky Jam quickly rose to the top of his genre with radio hits including “Yo No Soy Tu Marido”, “Me Voy Pa’l Party”, “Fiel A Tu Piel” and “La Combi Completa” among others. “Travesuras,” was Nicky’s international comeback hit after a 10-year absence from the charts as it peaked at #4 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs.

In February 2015, Nicky Jam teamed up with Enrique Iglesias to release “El Perdón”, his most internationally acclaimed single to date. Tallying over 1 million YouTube views on the day of its release, “El Perdón” was #1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin songs charts for 30 weeks (second longest-running single in the chart’s history). In January 2016, Nicky released “Hasta el Amanecer”, which also became the biggest Latin song of the year. The single was #1 on Billboard’s “Hot Latin Songs” for 18 weeks, which was the longest run of 2016. The official music video reached 100 million views in the first month, averaging over 3 million views per day. A remix featuring Daddy Yankee and an English version (“With You Tonight”) helped the song to spend 19 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 (peaking at No. 73).

2017 promises to be Nicky’s biggest year yet with the release of his next single, “El Amante” and his first album in 10 years, titled “Fenix”. Nicky also made his big screen debut on Vin Diesel’s film “XXX: Return of Xander Cage”, which hit theatres on January 20th, 2017.
