Born Héctor Luis Delgado Román on September 4, 1979, in Carolina, Puerto Rico, Héctor el Father began his music career in the 1990s with the duo Héctor & Tito, releasing influential projects such as Violencia Musical (1998), Nuevo Milenio (2000), and A la Reconquista (2002)âthe latter earning Latin Rap Album of the Year at the Billboard Latin Music Awards and setting sales milestones with its La Historia Live (2003), one of the first multiâplatinum live reggaetón albums. Following the duoâs 2004 split, he launched his solo career with his Los Anormales (2004) compilation via his Gold Star Music label, which shattered sales records in Puerto Rico, and continued his ascent with the RocâLaâFamilia-backed Los Rompe Discotekas (2006). He scored solo success with the studio album The Bad Boy (2006), featuring the Number â¯1 single âSola,â and completed his secular catalog with El Juicio Final (2008), a Christian hip-hopâinfused farewell album that paralleled his retirement announcement. After stepping away from reggaetón and pursuing theological studies, he returned with a Christian single âAcuérdate de mÃâ in 2018 to accompany his biographical film Héctor el Father: Conocerás la Verdad, and later released La Hora Cero (2021) under his real name, offering only religious music.
