Biography 

Nicky Jam was born in Boston, Massachusetts to a Puerto Rican father and a Dominican mother, however he later moved with his family to Barrio Obrero in Puerto Rico  at the age of six years old. 

He has been in reggaeton scene since his youth. The name "Nicky Jam" was given by a homeless man to Jam as a form of a joke. Nicky Jam, a reggaeton pioneer rose to fame after the release of Haciendo Escante in 2001. However he didn't gain international recognition until 2004 with the release of Vida Escante. 
His most recent studio album is The Black carpet release in 2007. Throughout his career,Nicky Jam, has worked with many artists like Daddy Yankee, R.K.M & Ken-Y, Héctor & Tito (Hector el Father and Tito El Bambino), Lito & Polaco, Big Boy, Magnate & Valentino and many others. However by the late 2000s, his career suffered a decline. He decided to move to Medellin, Colombia in 2010 after performing a few concerts there. In Colombia, Nicky Jam found the attention from the fans he needed and had the opportunity to restart his career. Thanks to the Colombian audience, he made a powerful comeback with his successful singles: "Tu Primera Vez", "Piensas en Mi", "Curiosidad", "Juegos Prohibidos" He also topped the charts with singles such as “Me Voy Pa’l Party”, “Chambonea”, “Yo No Soy Tu Marido”, “Vive Contigo”, “En La Cama (feat. Daddy Yankee)”, “Buscarte (feat. Daddy Yankee)”, “Guayando (feat. Daddy Yankee)” and, most notably, "Voy A Beber".
He also worked with Daddy Yankee again, after 8 years of not working together, on the album Prestige by Daddy Yankee. Nicky Jam has appeared in many reggaeton albums, currently holding the record for most appearances on various artist albums, which was formerly held by Daddy Yankee. His most recent album appearance is with Daddy Yankee's album Prestige, with the track "El Party Me Llama".

Jam’s current single “Travesuras” was nominated for a 2015 Billboard Latin Music Award for Latin Rhythm Song of the Year. 

“El Perdon” has logged 18.3 million worldwide views on YouTube.

“Perdon” stands atop the Latin Airplay chart for a third week (10.9 million audience impressions, up 5 percent) and climbs 2-1 on Latin Digital Songs (up 50 percent to 11,000 downloads), notching Jam his first digital chart-topper and Iglesias his fourth. 

All this action lands “Perdon” a No. 66 debut on the Hot 100, the highest rank for a Spanish-dominant title on the list. “Perdon” is also Jam's first Hot 100 hit.
