Biography

Ryan Castro, born Bryan David Castro Sosa on January 14, 1994, in Bello, Antioquia, Colombia, is a Colombian singer and rapper who grew up in Medellín’s Pedregal neighborhood and came up through freestyle, dancehall, and street-level performance. After singing on buses and performing in local bars and clubs, he began releasing music in the late 2010s, breaking through with “Morena” in 2017 and following with tracks such as “Miami,” “Secreto,” “Turista,” and “Nunca Imaginé” with Maycol Riddim in 2018. He continued in 2019 with “Campeón” and “Cositas al Oído,” then showed different sides of his style in 2020 with the trap-leaning “2 iPhones” with Cocaine Beatz and the R&B-flavored “La Chica de Mis Sueños” with Emmanuel Rosin. Ryan Castro’s wider breakout came with “Jordan” in 2021, followed by the 2022 hit “Mujeriego,” which reached European charts, and the EPs Reggaetonea and Los Piratas, the latter made with producer SOG. He sharpened his international profile through later singles including “Monastery” with Feid and “Quema” with Peso Pluma, before releasing his debut studio album, El Cantante del Ghetto, in 2024 via Sony Music Colombia. The album brought together reggaeton, dancehall, trap, and salsa touches, with guests including Arcángel, Yandel, SOG, Blessd, Zion, Myke Towers, Ñengo Flow, Peso Pluma, Rich the Kid, Totoy El Frío, and Coqe, while “Pueblo de Medallo” with Arcángel became one of its key tracks. In 2024, Ryan Castro and SOG also released “El Ritmo Que Nos Une,” the official song of Colombia’s national team for the Copa América. In 2025, he turned toward Caribbean sounds with SENDÉ, recorded in Curaçao and featuring collaborators such as Shaggy, Konshens, Jombriel, Tribal Kush, Blaiz Fayah, Dongo, and Peso Pluma, then deepened that direction with HOPI SENDÉ, a dancehall- and reggae-rooted album that included “LA VILLA” with Kapo and Gangsta and “Ba Ba Bad Remix” with Kybba, Sean Paul, and Busy Signal. “LA VILLA” carried into 2026 as a major hit, reaching Number 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as well as the Billboard Colombia and Argentina rankings. That same year, Ryan Castro reunited with J Balvin for OMERTA, a 10-track joint album built around Colombian urbano, reggaeton, trap, hip-hop, and dancehall, with contributions from DJ Snake, Eladio Carrión, and SOG.
