Jay Wheeler

Jay Wheeler, born José Ángel López Martínez on November 21, 1998, is a Puerto Rican singer and one of the leading voices of the modern romantic urbano wave known as RKT or trap romántico. Raised in a household where his mother and grandmother loved to sing, he absorbed music informally before pursuing it professionally starting in 2018, quickly building a reputation for smooth, melodic songwriting that blends reggaeton rhythms with R&B sensibility and pop hooks.

His breakthrough came with tracks like «La Curiosidad» and «Sin Ti», which showcased his knack for heartfelt, conversational lyrics about love, heartbreak, and desire, delivered over polished urban production. Songs such as «Pacto», later remixed with other artists, and «Por Tu Culpa» cemented his place among a new generation of Latin urban artists who favor emotional storytelling over aggressive trap posturing.

Wheeler has cited J Balvin, Nicky Jam, Bad Bunny, Daddy Yankee, and Paulo Londra as major influences, and his catalog reflects that lineage of melodic, radio-friendly reggaeton. He has expressed admiration for collaborators like Miky Woodz, underlining his openness to working with artists who share his passion for craftsmanship. Over a relatively short career, he has become a recognizable name in the Latin urban scene, known for turning intimate, relationship-driven narratives into catchy, danceable hits.
