Voltio
Julio Voltio (born Julio Ramos in Santurce, Puerto Rico) is one of the reggaeton genre's best-known artists.Growing up in the Parque Ecuestre section of Carolina, Voltio entered the music business as a teenager.
Together with Rey 29 and Héctor Delgado (AKA Héctor El Father), he formed The Masters of Funk. They didn't release any albums, but helped start the reggaeton movement.
When the members went their separate ways, Voltio partnered with Karel, a neighborhood friend, and they formed Karel y Voltio. They released their debut album Los Dueños del Estilo in 2003. The album languished, however, and the duo's enthusiasm dwindled.
Voltio was about to retire from the music business, when Tego Calderón approached him and told him to sign with White Lion Records, of which Tego is one of the main artists.
Having taken Tego's advice, he released the album, Voltage AC, with the hits "Bumper", "No Amarres Fuego" (featuring Zion y Lennox) and "Julito Maraña". In 2005 Voltio returned with his next album, a self-titled release.
It included again "Bumper" and "Julito Maraña", and his biggest hit to date, "Chulin Culin Chunfly", which features Calle 13, and a remix version with Three 6 Mafia. Both albums have sold well.
