Los Angeles, California (May 14, 2025)- At just 21 years old, Alejo is doing more than riding the wave of Latin music’s global expansion — he’s helping shape its next chapter. Recognized by Rolling Stone en Español in its highly anticipated “Future of Music 2025” feature, Alejo joins a select group of artists who are not only transforming the sound of contemporary music but rewriting the rules of how it’s made, shared, and felt.
Alejo’s inclusion in the list reflects a truth that fans have known for a while: he’s an artist defined by authenticity, not formulas. From his early steps in the urban scene to high-profile collaborations with Feid, Karol G, Wisin & Yandel, Jay Wheeler, and more, he has crafted a unique sound marked by melodic vulnerability, lyrical honesty, and an adventurous spirit that refuses to be boxed in. His hits may go viral, but what sets him apart is the emotional core that runs through everything he creates.
His trajectory includes standout tracks like “Pantysito,” “Un Viaje,” and “Se Enamoró de un Reggaetonero,” as well as major milestones like his 2022 performance at Premios Juventud alongside Feid and Robi. That same year, his EP Full Discoteka solidified his voice in the new wave of reggaetón, earning him recognition from platforms like Tidal and Billboard, which named him an artist to watch in its On the Radar Latin series. Apple Music also spotlighted him as one of their predictions for breakthrough Latin artists in 2023.
In 2023, Alejo released his first full-length album, El Favorito de las Nenas, a project that further showcased his ability to blend mainstream appeal with artistic experimentation. Follow-up releases like En Esta Nos Fuimos Lejos and Antes De continued to build on that momentum, setting the stage for a powerful 2025. Singles like “NENA” and “Aprovéchalo” have kept him on the radar as one of the most innovative voices in the genre today.
But beyond numbers, playlists, or features, Alejo represents a deeper shift in Latin music — one rooted in creative freedom, emotional truth, and a refusal to compromise. His music is crafted from the inside out, resonating with a generation of fans looking for something real.
The recognition from Rolling Stone en Español isn’t just a personal win — it’s a sign of where the industry is headed. Alejo is part of a movement that’s carving new space within Latin music, where artists are free to experiment, connect, and lead without losing themselves.
Alejo’s continued rise is supported by ONErpm, the next-generation music company helping artists succeed in an evolving digital landscape. As one of the largest music distribution platforms in the world, ONErpm provides essential infrastructure and services — from marketing and publishing to global payments — ensuring that artists like Alejo have the tools and transparency they need to thrive.
