Julio Manuel González Tavárez is originally known as one-half of successful reggaeton duo Dyland & Lenny. Puerto Rican singer born in San Juan began as a solo artist, becoming a significant figure of the Urban Latin movement. He used to be one of the more romantic reggaeton artists in the industry, but now his music is more than romantic, is bright and rhythmic.
He has become a pop and R&B star more than a trap star. His sound is a sensual fusion between Latin pop, reggaeton and R&B, never leaving behind his raw lyrics about love and sex, as we heard on his 2018 EP, "Pop Porn".
The Puerto Rican artist formed Dyland & Lenny with his friend Carlos Castillo Cruz, known as Dylan. In 2009 after the two had given up being basketball players to become musicians. Debut album My World, produced by Luny Tunes, appeared in 2010, with My World 2 two years later. Both albums became hits, stars such as Pitbull, Gusttavo Lima, and Luis Fonsi were featured on the albums.
Dyland & Lenny split by the end of 2013, and Tavárez began releasing solo singles including "La Nena," "Fantasias," He increasingly embraced trap with singles such as "No Quiere Amor"(featuring Farruko) and "Caviar."
The new musical project he started is called “#Crack”, an upcoming album whose title refers to the popular Spanish saying “sos un crack,” (you are awesome). He wants to take his fans on a musical journey with different rhythms. The first stop was "La Pared 360", a collaboration with Justin Quiles and in which he pays homage with lyrical highlights to the reggaeton classics that started the entire urban movement, with artists such as Daddy Yankee, Don Omar or Wisin & Yandel.
The Urban Latin industry is constantly changing and so is Lenny Tavárez. He explores different rhythms, R&B, sometimes even Acappella, he does not typecast in just one rhythm. During this global pandemic, Lenny Tavárez continued dropping new music,going from one ryhthm to another with four fresh singles, and “Acerola”, " Elegí" featuring Dalex, Rauw Alejandro and Dimelo Flow, "Te Fallé" with Dalex and Brytiago and the latest "Mal Necesario" featuring Cauty.
