Quevedo
Pedro Luis Domínguez Quevedo was born in Madrid in 2001, spent part of his early childhood in Brazil, and grew up in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where he began freestyling and releasing music in 2020. He broke through globally in 2022 with 'Quevedo: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 52' alongside Argentine producer Bizarrap — the first song by a Spanish artist to reach number one on Spotify's Global Top 200 — and built on it with hits like 'Vista al Mar,' 'Punto G,' and 'Columbia.' Working across reggaeton, Latin trap, and pop, he pairs a low, weathered voice with melodic sing-rap, becoming one of the defining figures of the Spanish urbano wave.
Quevedo has repeatedly named Bad Bunny as his idol, and later released his album 'Buenas Noches' through Rimas Entertainment, Bad Bunny's label; the debt is audible in his conversational, half-sung delivery and the way he slides between moody, minor-key trap and warmer reggaeton within a single track rather than committing to one lane.
listen forThrow on Bad Bunny's hushed, hazy 'Callaíta' right before Quevedo's 'Vista al Mar' — both drift on a slow, melancholy groove and a murmured, almost-spoken vocal that lets the melody sag and stretch instead of chasing a hard hook.
Quevedo came up through the Spanish-language freestyle and urbano scene that Duki's Argentine trap helped ignite, and the two later shared a track ('Si quieren frontear'); you can hear the lineage in Quevedo's autotune-drenched, half-rapped cadences and his roots in freestyle before the studio.
listen forPlay Duki's brash, autotuned Argentine-trap anthem 'Rockstar' next to Quevedo's Bizarrap session 'Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 52' — hear the same freestyle-bred flow riding a stark trap beat, the vocal drenched in pitch-correction and delivered like a punchline over a friend's laptop beat.
Daddy Yankee codified the reggaeton and perreo template — the insistent dembow pulse and chant-along club hook — that underpins Quevedo's dance-floor tracks; when Quevedo leans away from trap toward straight reggaeton, he is working inside the framework Daddy Yankee helped standardize.
listen forCue Daddy Yankee's foundational 'Gasolina' before Quevedo's 'Punto G' — both ride the same clipped dembow bounce and a blunt, repeated hook built to be shouted back on a crowded floor.
