Born Ramón Ayala (aka Raymond) on February 3, 1977 in Río Piedras, the largest district of San Juan, Puerto Rico, Daddy Yankee grew up in a musical family. His father was a bongosero (a salsa percussionist), his mother's family included numerous musicians, and he himself sang from an early age, and had a knack for improvisation. As Daddy Yankee grew older, he took an interest in Spanish-language.
