Jean Rodríguez
Jean Carlos Rodríguez López-Cepero (born December 10, 1980), also known as Jean, is a Puerto Rican singer, the younger brother of Luis Fonsi. Rodríguez has released a handful of solo albums and mixtapes, hitting number one on Billboard's Latin Pop Airplay chart with the single "Duele" in 2006. As a member of the production duo Coastcity, he co-produced the Spanish-language version of "Hey Ma" by Pitbull, J Balvin and Camila Cabello in 2017; the Spanish-language video passed 400 million views on YouTube, and the song was nominated for a Latin Grammy.
Rodríguez sang on Tony Succar's Unity Project, covering Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" and "Billie Jean", and in 2017 he performed "Super Freak" by Rick James for the BMI Los Producers charity ball. The same year, he served as Beyoncé's vocal coach for her Spanish-language remix of the song "Mi Gente". Through Coastcity, he teamed with his brother on the single "Pa La Calle" in 2018.
Rodríguez was named in two Latin Grammy Award nominations. At the 19th Annual Latin Grammy Awards in 2018, he was a contender in the Best Tropical Song category for the song "Me Enamoro Más De Ti", sharing credit with Tony Succar and Jorge Luis Piloto. Two years later at the 21st Annual Latin Grammy Awards, Rodríguez was nominated for Album of the Year for co-producing the Ricky Martin EP Pausa.
Rodríguez was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Alfonso Rodríguez and Delia López-Cepero. His older brother is Luis Fonsi, and his sister is named Tatiana. His parents sang in the choir Viva la gente (Up with People), and one grandfather played trumpet in Puerto Rico. One grandmother came from the Dominican Republic.[citation needed] Rodríguez sang from age four, and at age six he joined his brother in the San Juan Children's Choir. When he was nine years old, his family left Puerto Rico to move to Orlando, Florida, where Rodríguez continued his schooling. He learned to play trombone, performed with the school jazz band, and sang in the chorus at Dr. Phillips High School. He was influenced by music from Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, the Jackson 5, Mint Condition, Brian McKnight and Boyz II Men. Two years younger, Rodríguez idolized his brother Luis and Luis's friend Joey Fatone, wishing he could join their singing group, the Big Guys. Fatone later became famous with boy band NSYNC, while Luis found success in 2008 with "Aquí Estoy Yo", and scored a record-breaking hit with "Despacito" in 2017.
Rodríguez formed a Latin vocal trio called S'tilo with Wes Rodriguez (no relation) and Carlos Mendoza, after the three met in high school choir. Performed with choreographed dance moves, their songs were a blend of hip-hop, pop, Latin and R&B. The trio appeared at local venues such as House of Blues and Hard Rock Cafe. In early 2001, S'tilo went to Los Angeles to sign a recording deal with A&M Records, under the personal attention of label president Ron Fair. The record company's legal team found an earlier act named Steelo, pronounced the same way, so the trio began searching for a new name to avoid confusion. They spent time in the recording studio, but the project was shelved. Rodríguez chose to stay in Los Angeles, collaborating with artists such as Cutfather, Manuel Seal and Robbie Nevil. After two years, he relocated to New York City to perform at Joe's Pub, Village Underground and The Cutting Room. He signed with BMG Chrysalis as a songwriter. Following this, Rodríguez moved back to Florida, this time to Miami where he reconnected with his Latin music roots.
In 2005, Rodríguez signed a record deal with Sony BMG Norte, to record and release the album On in April 2006, using the mononym Jean. On was mainly urban R&B with elements of hip hop and tropical music. Two singles came from the album: "Juegas Con Fuego" produced by Jim Jonsin, and "Duele" which hit number one on the Latin Airplay charts. Rodríguez was invited by FIFA to represent the music of Puerto Rico at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.[dead link]
In 2008, he self-released the mixtape JeaniusMusiq Mixtape followed by the Sony BMG album Out the Box. In 2009 he released another mixtape: Genius To Jeanius. The independent single "Mia" peaked at number 21 on Billboard's Tropical Airplay chart in October 2011. In between these recordings, Rodríguez toured South and North America in 2010 with Marc Anthony in support of Anthony's Iconos album.
In 2012 at the invitation of producer Juan Luis Guerra, Rodríguez assisted as a vocal producer on the live album MTV Unplugged by Juanes. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart, and won the 2012 Latin Grammy Award for Album of the Year. The next year, Rodríguez co-wrote and co-produced Soy el Mismo for Prince Royce. The album topped the Billboard Latin album chart in October 2013.
