Juan Luis Londoño Arias, best known as Maluma, from Medellin, Colombia, has become a global Latin music idol. At only 28 years old, the Colombian superstar has a repertoire of smash hits and music collaborations with artists such as Madonna, Shakira, The Weeknd, Timbaland, Jason Derulo and Ricky Martin, among many others. He has recorded five albums: "Pretty Boy Dirty Boy" (2015), "F.A.M.E." (2018 Latin Grammy winner for Best Contemporary Pop Vocal Album), "11:11" (2019), "Papi Juancho" (2020) which includes the worldwide hit "Hawái," and "7 Días en Jamaica" (#7DJ).

Maluma is a media leader due to his high impact on social media with more than 93 million active followers. He is the youngest artist with a total of 21 No.1 hits on Billboard's Latin Airplay chart, and if that weren't enough, he has conquered Latin America, the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East with his live concerts, breaking records with sold out shows in stadiums and arenas throughout the world.

His passion for haute couture has led him to be an ambassador for luxury brands such as Versace and to co-design a special line with Balmain. In addition Maluma's altruistic spirit is outstanding for the community work he leads with his foundation "El Arte de Los Sueños" based in his native country. Founded in 2016, the Foundation's mission is to transform at-risk youth through art and music education bringing an inspiring message to young people.

In November 2021, Maluma starred in his first Disney animation movie, "Encanto," which is nominated for a 2022 Oscar this year and was nominated by the Golden Globes. This 2022 the global superstar is back with his "Papi Juancho Maluma World Tour 2022" and debuted in Hollywood with his starring role as Bastian in the movie "Marry Me" alongside Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson.
