ARTIST BIO
Eladio Carrión was born in Kansas City, Missouri, to a Puerto Rican family. Because his father was in the military, they constantly moved. Throughout his childhood he lived in Hawaii, Baltimore, New York, and Alaska. At age 11 he moved to live in Humacao, Puerto Rico. In his youth he developed skills for sports such as swimming, coming to represent Puerto Rico at the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games, and at the 2011 Pan American Games in Guadalajara. Shortly after 2012, Carrión abandoned swimming and began his artistic career as an influencer through digital platforms such as Vine and Instagram, in which he uploaded comedic videos which helped him gain followers. Carrión was nominated for 2 Latin Grammy Awards, and performed at the 22nd Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2023.
