BARRIO – Born in Connecticut to a Puerto Rican family, Justin Quiles was raised in Puerto Rico but returned to Connecticut to finish high school. He wrote his first song when he was 13 and says that he grew up listening to El General, salsa, hip hop, Wisin y Yandel, Tego Calderon and Don Omar.

J Quiles signed with record label Rich Music in 2013. His first single with the label was ‘Orgullo’, and a remix featuring J Balvin became a Top 20 hit on Billboard. He’s had much success since, but what many people don’t know is that he’s also an accomplished writer with many songwriting credits. Check this out.

… and trust us, there are much, much more.

JUSTIN Quiles will embark on his first official U.S. tour this fall, including a stop in Toronto.

“I’m so excited to be kicking off my tour,” he tells Rolling Stone. “My fans have been asking for so long and I’m happy to finally be able to deliver this incredible show that my team and I have put together.”

“So much new music is on the way,” he adds. “I can’t wait to see all of [my fans’] reactions from the stage as I tell these new stories.”

The tour announcement came after he joined Mexican reggaeton newcomer Yng Lvcas on the track “Wazap.”Lvcas said that he calls Quiles his “tío” thanks to their mentor-mentee relationship. “I really admire his songwriting,” he said. “We exchanged ideas for a song, but he liked ‘Wazap’ and recorded a verse.”
