Justin Quiles: Early Life and Career

Justin Quiles was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut. His family is from Puerto Rico. He grew up in Puerto Rico but later moved back to Connecticut to finish high school.

He wrote his first song when he was 13 years old. He says his older brother's music influenced him a lot. He listened to artists like El General, salsa, and hip hop. He also liked Wisin y Yandel, Tego Calderon, and Don Omar.

Quiles moved back to Puerto Rico to become a singer. He started working with the music duo Genio & Baby Johnny. A year later, he went to Orlando. There, he recorded his first song, "Algo Contigo," with producer Lelo.

In August 2013, Justin Quiles signed with the record label Rich Music. This label is based in Miami. His first song with Rich Music was "Orgullo." A remix of this song with Colombian singer J Balvin became very popular. It reached the Top 20 on the Billboard Latin Rhythm Airplay chart.

Justin Quiles released his first album, Carpe Diem, in March 2015. This album included songs like "No La Toques" and "Nos Envidian." In the same year, he released the song "Me Curare." A remix of this song with singer Maluma became a hit. It reached number 7 on the Billboard Tropical Songs chart.

2016–2017: La Promesa and New Songs

On July 29, 2016, Quiles released his second album, La Promesa. This title means "The Promise," and sometimes people call him by that name. The album was very successful. It was the #1 Latin Rhythm Album and the #2 Latin Album overall on the Billboard charts.

The most popular song from La Promesa was "Si Ella Quisiera." A remix of this song featured Yandel and Gadiel. "Si Ella Quisiera" reached number 8 on the Billboard Tropical Songs chart. It also hit number 20 on the Billboard Latin Pop Songs chart. The song was certified Platinum in Spain, meaning it sold a lot of copies.

Before La Promesa, Quiles released a mixtape called Imperio Nazza: Justin Quiles Edition. This mixtape was produced by Musicólogo y Menes. He was also featured on their album "Orion," which included his song "Si El Mundo Se Acabara." In the same year, he released an EP (a shorter album) called "JQ Miliano." This EP featured songs like "Culpable" and "Ella Baila."

In 2017, Quiles released "Crecia" with Bad Bunny and Almighty. This song was in the new genre of Latin Trap. He also released "Cuestion De Tiempo" with Jory Boy and "Tu Pollo" with Sech. He was featured on "Baila Toma" by Osmani Garcia and "Todo Cambio" by Becky G. In July 2017, he performed "Egoista" at the Premios Juventud awards.
