 * Biography**

Raymond Ayala (Daddy Yankee) began rhyming and singing at the age of 13. At a very young age Raymond wanted to be a baseball player and everyone agreed that he was well on his way to the major leagues. However, one summer night the 17-year-old was involved in an accident that permanently damaged his leg. Ever since that event Daddy Yankee has dedicated his life to his true passion, creating music. One of his first major appearances on record was on DJ Tony Touch's album "The Piece-Maker." He did more than anyone to establish reggaeton as a marketable music style. His life-long dreams came true when he performed before a full house at Puerto Rico’s Roberto Clemente Coliseum. On that memorable night more than 12,000 fans went wild as they danced along to his music. Yankee has been actively touring Latin America and The United States winning thousands of fans in each region.
