As the sound of música urbana continues to gain traction at a global level, so does Ovi. Born Ovidio Crespo, Ovi represents everything that is exciting about Latin urban by borrowing elements of reggaeton, trap, R&B, and even salsa for a sound that’s uniquely his own. Deftly balancing the uptempo and downtempo, Ovi’s blossoming discography shows an artist in tune not only with his melodic gift—buoyed by soft, dreamy vocals and everyday tales of life, love, and their ensuing struggles—but also the pulse of his Latin heritage, as showcased in cuts such as “Los 4 Ases” and “De Cero.”
