Career

2000–2015: Early life and musical beginnings

Manuel Turizo grew up in the Colombian coastal town of Montería and began making music at age thirteen.[2] When Turizo was born, his parents gifted a guitar and microphone to his then-two-year-old brother Julian "so he would not get jealous" of the attention they were giving to the newborn Manuel.[3] Years later, Turizo attempted to learn to play his brother's guitar but felt he did not have the aptitude for it, and thus began developing his singing voice.[3] His original goal was to be a veterinarian, but decided to pursue music as a career after taking singing lessons with a Cuban music teacher.[4] As a child, he sang while his brother played guitar along with their favorite songs. Manuel began writing songs while his brother earned his post-graduate degree in Medellin.[3]

2016–present: "Una Lady Como Tú", success, and ADN

He is best known for his hit single "Una Lady Como Tú" (2016), which granted him widespread popularity in Latin America;[5][6] the music video for the song has, as of June 2020, received over 1.4 billion views on YouTube.[7] Within a year of its release, "Una Lady Como Tú" was streamed more than 235 million times on Spotify.[8] This hit was followed by "Bésame" (2017) in which he collaborated with Puerto Rican reggaeton singer Valentino.[9] The success of these singles led Billboard to include Turizo in the magazine's list of "10 Latin Artists To Watch in 2018".[8]

In September 2018, Turizo achieved his first Billboard Hot 100-charting hit with his collaboration with Ozuna on the single "Vaina Loca".[10] The song peaked at number 94 and stayed on the chart for two weeks.[10] In October 2018, he collaborated with Mau y Ricky on the single "Desconocidos".[11] In March 2019, his song "Sola" became first number one song on the Billboard Latin Airplay chart.[12] He released his debut album, ADN on August 23, 2019, which featured collaborations with Zion & Lennox, Noriel, Ozuna, Darell, Nicky Jam, Sech, and Anuel AA.[12] ADN peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot Latin Albums chart.[13] In September 2019, Turizo was named as the first Latin "global priority artist" by the French streaming service Deezer.[14] He performed a virtual concert with Billboard on March 25, 2020 while in quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic to raise money for the non-profit organization MusiCares.[15] The concert consisted of a cappella renditions of the songs "Una Lady Como Tú" and "Déjala Que Vuelva".[15]

Artistry

Manuel Turizo comes from a family of musical talent: his father and his brother Julián Turizo are musicians.[6][16][17] The two brothers form a duo in which Manuel sings and Julián plays the ukulele.[14] In addition to reggaeton, Turizo has also experimented with trap, R&B, and vallenato.[12] His vocals have been described by Billboard as "sultry and deep" and his vocal range has been classified as baritone.[12][8] Turizo cites Pablo Alborán and Bruno Mars as his biggest musical influences.[2] He also lists Luis Fonsi, Shakira, Sin Bandera, Justin Bieber and Chayanne as important musicians in his musical development.[3][18]
