Growing up in Medellín, Juanes learned guitar from family members before co-founding the metal band Ekhymosis. Rock stayed at the center of his music as he made room for the folk rhythms of Colombia and Latin America.

His solo debut, Fíjate Bien, arrived in 2000 and brought him three Latin Grammys in 2001, including Best New Artist. Un Día Normal followed in 2002 with songs including “A Dios le Pido” and his Nelly Furtado duet “Fotografía”. Mi Sangre, home to “La Camisa Negra”, followed in 2004.
Music and peacebuilding.
Through Fundación Mi Sangre and Paz Sin Fronteras, which he co-founded, Juanes has worked to support young people and peacebuilding in Colombia. The Latin Recording Academy recognized his music and humanitarian work by naming him its 2019 Person of the Year.
Where he is now.
In 2026 he released JuanesTeban, co-produced with Nico Cotton, and took its songs on a world tour. The album moves between cumbia and rock, with guests including Bomba Estéreo, Rawayana and Mon Laferte. He also drew the album cover and artwork for its songs himself.
