Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio is a rapper better known as Bad Bunny in the music world. He is a Puerto Rican singer and songwriter of hip-hop in Spanish, rap, trap, and other urban rhythms (he also has an American nationality).
He was born on March 10, 1994, in San Marco, Puerto Rico, and is known as a creative and versatile artist. His music is often interpreted as Latin trap and reggaeton, but he has incorporated various other genres into his music, including rock, bachata, and soul. He is also known for her deep, matte sound style and her selective fashion sense.
He is the author of most of the tracks of his songs. A childhood photograph of Bad Bunny at school wearing a rabbit costume earned him the nickname “Bunny” on stage, where his face was almost non-existent.

Early life
Benito Antonio Martinez was born on March 10, 1994, in the Emerald Sur Bario in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. His father was a truck driver, and her mother was a retired school teacher. His mother listens to Juan Gabriel’s “Abrazm Mayo Forte” like Sala, Maringo, and Ballades, while Bad Bunny helps her with household chores.
He has two younger brothers, Bernie and Basile, and considers his close friends to be part of his family. He said that he was brought up in a pleasant home. Martinez says he wanted to be a singer when he was young. As a child, he attended weekly church service with his devoutly Catholic mother and sang at church services until he was 13 years old.
After leaving the data, he became interested in artists listening to the radio, especially Daddy Yankee and Hector Lave. His stage name dates back to a time when the rapper was forced to dress up as a rabbit at school and was photographed with angry expressions.
Despite being embarrassed in high school, he often made freestyle raps for entertaining his classmates, which made him famous at school for his creativity and humor. His teenage interests included skateboarding and professional wrestling, both of which influenced her fashion sense.
Talking about his distance from the Puerto Rican music industry, Bud Bunny said, “I’m from Vega Baja. It’s a small area, not a metropolis like San Juan, where most of the artists of this genre come from.”
The most amazing and wonderful thing about it – about it – I just didn’t come up with anything, and that’s it. “When he was young, his mother wanted him to be an engineer, his father preferred him to be a baseball player, while a teacher told him he would become a firefighter,” he said. Instead, he took audiovisual communication courses at the University of Puerto Rico in Arecibo.
