Jon Z

Jon Z, born Jonathan Resto Quiñones on May 20, 1991, in Juncos, Puerto Rico, is a rapper and singer associated with the trap and reggaeton movements that grew out of the island's underground hip-hop scene. His stage name blends the first letters of his own name with a phonetic nod to his mother, reflecting the close family and church-music environment he grew up in, where percussion and gospel singing were part of everyday life.

Jon Z built his reputation through a raw, aggressive flow and an unmistakable ad-lib style that became a signature across Latin trap. He emerged from Puerto Rico's mixtape and freestyle culture in the mid-2010s, releasing early tracks like «No Pares» before his debut album «TheGameIsAboutToChange» in 2015, which helped establish him as one of the genre's distinctive voices alongside the wave of artists redefining reggaeton's edges.

Over the years he has been a frequent collaborator within the Latin trap and reggaeton scene, known for high-energy remixes and guest verses that showcase his rapid-fire delivery. Tracks such as «Viajo Sin Ver» and its remix, along with «Después Que Te Perdí» and «Pali2», reflect his range between introspective street narratives and club-ready anthems, cementing his place as a key figure in Puerto Rico's trap generation.
