Known in the Netherlands as the âKing of Dutch Latin,â Rolf Sánchez Wienk (born on July 3, 1991) is a Miami-based Dutch singer and one of the leading exponents of tropical and urbano music in his home country. Inspired by the likes of Marc Anthony and Juan Luis Guerra, Sánchez started performing in talent shows from a very young age. In 2011, with just 19 years, he became a contestant in reality TV music competition X Factor Holland, where he captivated audiences with his rendition of Luis Enriqueâs smash hit âYo No Sé Mañana.â Despite finishing in third place, Sánchez caught the attention of Sony Music Latin, who offered him a record deal on the spot. The showâs popularity catapulted Sánchez to stardom, and he was soon playing sold-out shows throughout Holland. He made his official debut that same year, with a cover of David Bisbalâs âAve MarÃa,â which reached a tepid Number 73 on the Single Top 100. In the following years, Sánchez relocated to the Dominican Republic to relaunch his career in the Latin market, releasing the 2015 hit singles âPor Si No Te Vuelvo a Verâ and âQué Se Siente,â both of which topped Billboardâs Tropical Airplay chart and earned the singer a nomination for Breakthrough of the Year at Univisionâs Lo Nuestro Awards. Another Latin Pop Airplay chart-topper ensued with âVas a Entenderâ in 2016, and he scored two Top 20 singles the following year with âPaso a Pasoâ and âTe Va a Doler,â in collaboration with reggaeton singer Farruko. 2019 saw Sánchez go back to the reality TV format, this time on the show Beste Zangers, which spawned âPa Olvidarte,â a duet with singer Emma Heesters that reached Number 2 on the Single Top 100. Subsequently, he inaugurated the new decade with âMás Más Más,â an uplifting Latin pop number that made it to the Dutch Top 40.
