Eladio Carrión on Tour
Born in Kansas to a Puerto Rican family, Eladio Carrión started his career in entertainment as a comedian imitating rappers until a friend encouraged him to take the leap to performing his own songs and beats.
Now a rapper and a Latin trap star, Carrión is known for his smooth flow, prolific output and unexpected collaborations. His tune "Sin Frenos" featuring Argentine DJ Bizarrap and rapper Duki amassed more than 22 million views on YouTube in just a few months, as did his tune "Nota" featuring Argentine rapper Nicki Nicole.
Rolling Stone said that his 16-track, 2020 debut album, Sauce Boyz, is filled with "clever, comedic wordplay and sonic experiments that swerved from thudding, dramatic drill to caustic trap corridos." Several remixes followed the acclaimed record, as did the companion album Sauce Boyz 2, featuring bold production, uptempo beats and experimental synth pop elements. Rolling Stone also named Carrion's 2021 album, Monarca, as one of the 35 Best Spanish-Language and Bilingual Albums of 2021.

Eladio Carrión Live in Concert
Known for his impressive wordplay and lyricism, Latin American trap artist Eladio Carrión was born in Kansas and lived with his military family in several states before they returned home to their native Puerto Rico.
Carrión knew he had a penchant for words, so he started ghostwriting music for several Latin artists. When the lyrics he was writing started to get very personal, he realized that he couldn't give these songs to other artists and that he wanted to try his hand at performing his own music.
Carrión was a natural, which isn't surprising given that prior to his music career, he had been a standup comedian who imitated other people's voices including different rappers.

Interestingly, Carrión was also a professional swimmer, which he said taught him discipline and perseverance -- two important qualities for navigating the music industry.
