Orlando Javier Valle Vega (born February 19, 1979),^[2][3] known professionally as Chencho Corleone or simply Chencho, is a Puerto Rican singer, songwriter and record producer. Considered one of the most important figures in the history of reggaeton, he is distinguished by his characteristic voice, which is considered one of the most distinctive and emblematic of the urban genre.^[4][5]

He initially gained notoriety for his time in Plan B, a duo he formed with his cousin Maldy in 1999, where he launched his musical career. As part of the duo, he released three studio albums and stood out for his performances of songs such as "Es un Secreto", "Fanática Sensual", "Si No Le Contesto", "Candy", "Choca" and "Mi Vecinita". Alongside his career with Plan B, he also developed a solo career, working as executive producer on the 2005 album El Draft 2005 and collaborating on songs such as "A Que No Te Atreves" with Tito el Bambino, which topped Billboard's Latin Rhythm Airplay and Tropical Airplay charts.

Following the release of the single "El Efecto" with Rauw Alejandro in 2019, he established a fully solo career, participating in various notable remixes such as "105°F (remix)" and "Hola (remix)", as well as other collaborations such as "Una Locura", "Desesperados" and "Me Porto Bonito", which earned him worldwide recognition. In 2023, he signed with the record company Sony Music Latin, under which he released his debut studio album as a soloist, Solo (2024).^[6]
