A best-selling Colombian singer and songwriter, Camilo is recognized for his breezy tenor vocals and infectious blend of reggaeton and Latin pop. He initially grabbed the public's attention in 2007 when he won The XS Factor in Colombia. His success paved the way for his 2008 debut, Regálame Tu Corazón, and its 2010 follow-up, Tráfico de Sentimientos, the latter of which marked his first chart appearance inside the Colombian and Peruvian Top 40. Following his time hosting a children's television program, Camilo returned to music, writing songs for Bomba Estereo, Mau y Ricky, Juanes, and others. In 2020, he garnered widespread acclaim with his album Por Primera Vez. Buoyed by the platinum-certified hit "Tutu" with Pedro Capo, the record topped the Billboard Latin chart and took home a Latin Grammy Award. 2021's Mis Manos and 2022's De Adentro Pa Afuera were similarly successful. A pair of EPs, Un and Dos, arrived in early 2024.

Born Camilo Echeverry Correa in Medellín in 1994, Camilo and his sister, Manuela Echeverry, formed a musical team as teenagers; they tried out for The XS Factor, but failed to reach the end of the competition. He returned the following year as a solo artist and won, setting in motion his debut album, Regálame Tu Corazón. Released under the name Camilo Echeverry, the album garnered some radio and video attention, but did not chart. In 2008, he made further TV appearances on the RCN Channel's Super Pá and in the telenovela En Los Tacones de Eva. Also in 2008, he began making regular appearances on the children's television program Bichos, where he remained until 2009 when he went on tour in Colombia and the United States. In 2010, he released his Sony follow-up, Tráfico de Sentimientos, which hit inside the Top Ten in Colombia; it also charted in Peru as well as other South American countries. Camilo returned to Bichos (by then renamed Tu Planeta Bichos) and was selected as a presenter on the 2011 XS Factor. In 2013, he cut the non-charting single "Déjame Quererte Hoy," and the following year he retired from Tu Planeta Bichos.

By 2018, Camilo had dropped the use of his last name and returned to his music career, penning hits for Bomba Estereo and Mau y Ricky. He also wrote "Paleta de Ha-Ash" and "Cuidao" for Yandel and Natti Natasha. In addition, he collaborated with Mau y Ricky and Manuel Turizo on the hit "Desconocidos," and wrote "Pa Dentro" for Juanes. He also launched his own single, "Japonesa." Over the next year, Camilo picked up more songwriting work, penning and singing on Sebastián Yatra's "En Guerra." He also released his own platinum-certified single, "N Te Vayas." After writing and recording the triple-platinum single "Me Boca" as a featured guest of Mau y Ricky, he enlisted Pedro Capo to work with him on the single "Tutu." It topped the chart in Mexico and peaked at number two on the U.S. Latin Pop Songs in the U.S.; it was also certified platinum. A remix of the track with Shakira also charted and was followed by the collaborative single "Boomshakalaka" with Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike, Afro Bros, Sebastián Yatra, and Emilia. At year's end, Camilo had released two more charting singles with "Primer Avión" (featuring Matisse) and "La Difícil." Both songs were included on his third full-length album and the first released under the name Camilo, Por Primera Vez. Arriving in April 2020, the set hit number one on Billboard's Latin Pop Albums chart and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop or Urban Album. Camilo also won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Pop Song for the track "Tutu." Released the following year, his next album, the Grammy-nominated Mis Manos, made the Top Five on the U.S. Latin chart and even cracked the Billboard 200. "Índigo," a duet with Evaluna Montaner, appeared later that year. 2022 saw the release of De Adentro Pa Afuera, which included the hit single of the same name and in 2023, Camilo teamed up with Bollywood star Diljit Dosanjh on the Punjabi/Spanish crossover hit "Palpita." Led by another Montaner collaboration, "PLIS," he began 2024 with the Un EP, followed a few months later by its sequel, Dos. ~ Thom Jurek

Known for earnest acoustic pop marked by flamenco-style guitar and passionate love songs, singer/songwriter Pablo Alborán became a massive hitmaker -- first in his native Spain and later on charts around the world -- beginning in 2010 with the release of the chart-topping single "Solamente Tú." It set the stage for his multi-platinum eponymous debut in 2011. Alborán's first five studio albums all went to number one in Spain, with the third, 2014's Terral, topping the U.S. Latin Pop Albums chart. It also garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Album. He had his 11th Top Ten single with 2017's "No Vaya a Ser" from his fourth studio LP, the Grammy-nominated Prometo, before returning to the top of Spain's album chart with 2020's Vertigo and 2022's La Cuarta Hoja.

Born Pablo Moreno de Alborán Ferrándiz on May 31, 1989 in Málaga, Spain, he learned to play guitar at a young age and wrote his first songs at age 12. In time, he was signed to a major-label recording contract with EMI and made his album debut with Pablo Alborán in 2011. Featuring the chart-topping hit single "Solamente Tú," the self-titled full-length effort topped the Spanish albums chart for six weeks straight, making Alborán one of the biggest revelations of the year in Spain. A follow-up single, "Miedo," also charted, and the album eventually went platinum in Spain six times over. The end of the year brought the concert album En Acústico, which produced its own pair of hits, the Spanish chart-topper "Perdóname" (featuring Portuguese fado singer Carminho) and "Te He Echado de Menos."

Touring, writing, and recording sessions for Alborán's second album consumed much of the following year, but by November of 2012, his next single and album (both titled Tanto) had appeared. Tanto was an even bigger hit than his first album, charting at the top in his native country for many weeks and selling nearly twice as many copies. Two further singles, "El Beso" and "Quién," hit number one in Spain. Alborán's third album, Terral, followed in 2014. Completely self-written, with co-production by Alborán and Eric Rosse in Los Angeles, Terral was not only a big hit in Spain but became his first number one on the U.S. Latin charts. The singles "Por Fin" and "Pasos de Cero" both reached the top of the charts in Spain, making Alborán one of the country's most popular artists. In April 2016, he released the single "Se Puede Amar," following it with a tour of Central America. That August, Alborán re-released "Dónde Está el Amor" (with Brazilian singer Tiê), which was included on the telenovela soundtrack Haja Coração.

Led by the romantic Top 20 singles "Saturno" and "No Vaya a Ser," the 13-song Prometo saw release in November 2017. It spent seven weeks at number one and earned Alborán his second straight Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop Album. In 2019, the dance-oriented "Tabú" spawned its own remix EP featuring Ava Max. Alborán's fifth studio album, the Grammy-nominated Vertigo, went to number one upon its release in December 2020. It was produced by Prometo's Julio Reyes Copello. 2022 marked the arrival of the singles "Amigos (con Maria Becerra)" and "Ave de Paso (con Ana Mena)," both of which appeared on his sixth full-length effort, La Cuarta Hoja, later that December. ~ Jason Birchmeier & Marcy Donelson
