Jennifer Lopez, a.k.a. "Jenny from the Block", is an acclaimed actress who surprised the pop industry by becoming maker of hits in the 2000s. She was born on July 24, 1969 in the Bronx, New York; after beginning as a child in musical theater, she appeared in her first film at the age of 16 in My Little Girl, but her career subsequently stalled until she was chosen as a dancing "Fly Girl" on In Living Color.

Miami MC Pitbull melds crunk, bass, and Latin rap for his successful and distinctive brand of street hop. When crunk, the Southern-fried party rap, dominated urban radio in the mid-2000s, this Miami rapper and soon-to-be superstar decided it was time to grasp the brass ring.

Wisin, a singer, songwriter, and producer for the hugely popular urban Latin duo Wisin & Yandel, is also a successful solo artist.

La India began showing a range of musical talents over the course of her career – from reggaeton and Latin pop to house and freestyle – but she will always be defined by her string of number one New York salsa singles on the RMM label in the '90s, when Celia Cruz dubbed her the Princess of Salsa.
