Early life

In 2012, he worked on the composition and production of 9 songs from the Wisin & Yandel album Líderes. One of the songs was "Algo Me Gusta de Ti".[5]
Jedi released his first single in 2016, an electronic and reggaeton song titled "Dale Hasta Abajo" featuring singer-songwriter Joey Montana. The following year, he achieved recognition with the song "Ahora Dice", a song that featured the voices of J Balvin, Ozuna and Arcángel. "Ahora Dice" reached number seven on the Hot Latin Songs chart. The music video for the song has received more than 1 billion views on YouTube. The remix version included the participation of Cardi B.[6]
