Reykon, born Andrés Felipe Robledo Londoño, is a pivotal figure in the 'second wave' of reggaeton, specifically representing the Medellin, Colombia explosion that redefined the genre's global footprint. Emerging in the late 2000s, he was among the first Colombian artists to achieve major international success in a genre previously dominated by Puerto Rican acts.
His sound identity is characterized by a blend of traditional dembow rhythms with highly polished, pop-oriented production, often featuring bright synthesizers and melodic hooks. His career arc saw a rapid ascent from local popularity in Envigado to international stardom, marked by his 2012 collaboration with Daddy Yankee, 'Señorita,' which solidified his status as a major proponent of the genre. Critically, he is viewed as a pioneer who helped pave the way for later Colombian superstars like J Balvin and Maluma. His influence is felt in the 'paisa' style of reggaeton, which emphasizes melodic flow and a cleaner, more commercial production aesthetic compared to the underground roots of the genre.
