Biography
Nicky Jam (Nick Rivera Caminero) is an American singer born March 17, 1981, best known for reggaeton hits including "El Perdón," "Hasta el Amanecer," and "El Amante"—three tracks from his 2017 album Fénix. He was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts to a Dominican mother and Puerto Rican father, then relocated to Puerto Rico at age ten. His recording career began at fourteen with the EP ...Distinto a los demás (1995), and he soon caught the attention of Daddy Yankee. The two formed Los Cangris, active from the late 1990s through 2004, before splitting acrimoniously. That breakup triggered a sharp career decline, legal troubles, and substance abuse. A turning point came when he moved to Medellín, Colombia, and shifted toward a more melodic, sung style—released the singles "Voy a Beber" and "Travesuras" in 2014, followed by "El Perdón" in 2015. His 2017 album Fénix cemented his comeback; the 2019 album Íntimo earned critical and commercial success. Beyond music, he acted in XXX: Return of Xander Cage (2017) and Bad Boys for Life (2020), and starred in and executive produced the Netflix series Nicky Jam: El Ganador (2018). As a Pisces, Jam embodies the sign's emotional fluidity—his early fast-paced reggaeton evolved into introspective, romantic compositions. His life-path number 3 aligns with creative expression and communication, traits evident in his collaborative work with artists like J Balvin, Ozuna, Plan B, and Anuel AA.
