Nicky Jam is of Puerto Rican and Domenican descent, but experienced an important boom in his career in Colombia, flourishing alongside artists from Medellin like J Balvin and Maluma. “I didn’t go looking to Colombia for a dream — if I tell you that, I’m lying,” said Jam in an interview with Billboard. “I went to Colombia because I needed the work!”
