Early life[]

Carlos Ortíz Rivera was born on September 19, 1989, in the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico. At age 15, he became a singer before becoming a producer. His first opportunities as a producer were thanks to Luny Tunes, whom he respects and admires.

In 2012, he worked on the composition and production of 9 songs from the Wisin & Yandel album Líderes. One of the songs was Algo me gusta de ti.[5]

Jedi released his first single in 2016, an electronic and reggaetón song titled "Dale Hasta Abajo" featuring singer-songwriter Joey Montana. The following year, he achieved recognition with the song "Ahora Dice", a song that featured the voices of J Balvin, Ozuna and Arcángel. “Ahora Dice” reached number seven on the Hot Latin Songs chart. The music video for the song has received more than 1 billion views on YouTube. The remix version included the participation of Cardi B.[6]

In addition, he was the producer of all the songs on Anuel’s album Real Hasta La Muerte along with Gaby Music and Frabian Eli. In collaboration with Gaby Music, he has supported the career of Lunay, who published his first studio album, Épico, months after his debut.[8]
