Biography
Who is Paulo Londra?
Early life and beginnings
Born in Córdoba, Argentina, Paulo Ezequiel Londra developed an interest in music after viewing the film 8 Mile. He started by rapping in public squares alongside his peers to build his skills outside of the studio environment. These early freestyle sessions in various local venues helped him overcome his initial shyness and refine his performance abilities.
His competitive phase lasted roughly five years. During this time, he participated in well-known freestyle events such as the El Quinto Escalón contest. At the age of 14, he entered his first tournament titled Sin Escritura. While he struggled in traditional rap battles because his melodic approach differed from the aggressive bars typically favored in those competitions, these experiences were crucial for his development as an artist.
Rise to fame and musical career
Paulo Londra launched his professional music career in early 2017 with the release of the track Relax. Unlike many other artists in the urban music scene, he intentionally avoids lyrical themes focused on drugs or violence. This distinctive approach helped him establish a unique identity in the Latin trap and reggaeton genres.
His popularity grew significantly due to several high-profile collaborations. He released successful songs such as Nena Maldición with Lenny Tavarez, Te Amo alongside Piso 21, and the popular track Cuando Te Besé featuring Becky G. The song Cuando Te Besé reached number 45 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart and became the very first track to lead the Billboard Argentina Hot 100. Also, his song Adán y Eva also reached the top spot on the Argentina Hot 100.
Collaborations and industry projects
Beyond his solo work, the artist has participated in well-known international collaborations. In 2019, he appeared on the track Nothing on You, which was part of Ed Sheeran's No.6 Collaborations Project. This song also featured the British rapper Dave. Later in September 2019, he released the song Party in collaboration with the American musician A Boogie wit da Hoodie.
He has also supported his music through live performances and tours. His touring history includes the Leones Con Flow Tour in 2018 and the Homerun Tour, which took place between 2019 and 2020. Also, he has released studio albums titled Homerun in 2019 and Back to the Game in 2022.
Legal conflict and contract disputes
In May 2020, Paulo publicly addressed a significant conflict with his label, Big Ligas, through social media. He accused Ovy on the Drums and Kristoman of manipulating his contract and defrauding him to gain rights to his music without his permission. He claimed they forced him to sign with Warner Music without his consent to produce his debut album.
The artist stated that he was deceived into signing an agreement that bound him to Big Ligas until 2025. This legal situation prevented him from releasing new music for a period while his legal representatives worked to terminate his contracts with both Warner Music and Big Ligas. He published an open letter detailing these claims to explain the reasons behind the professional dispute.
