Mini bio
How it started.
Before the records and stadium shows, Bryan David Castro Sosa rapped on public buses in Medellín to help support his family. He grew up in Pedregal, developing a love of rap, freestyle and dancehall. Time living in Curaçao deepened his connection to reggae and Caribbean music, and he began sharing songs online.
Finding his audience.
Morena appeared in 2017, and Lejanía helped him build an audience before JORDAN and Mujeriego carried his music internationally. Both reached the Billboard Global 200. Monastery with Feid and Quema with Peso Pluma brought more listeners into his world.
The neighborhood and the island.
His 2024 debut album, EL CANTANTE DEL GHETTO, celebrated his Medellín roots. SENDÉ turned toward his Curaçao chapter in 2025, followed by HOPI SENDÉ later that year. In 2026 he joined J Balvin for OMERTA, a shared album with a cinematic visual world and Medellín at its center.
