MANUEL-TURIZO

Manuel Turizo (full name Manuel Turizo Zapata) is an urbano and reggaeton singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Colombia whose trademark is his smooth buttery tenor singing voice. His international success has seen him enter mainstream Latin music. Una Lady Como Tu (his 2016 hit) received a Colombian Kids Choice Award, 2017 Favorite Song. The year after Medellin, Sony distributed La Industria Inc. and then released ADN for his debut full-length album. The album reached number 8 on the Top Latin Albums Chart. Vaina Loca was an instant Top Five hit for Ozuna and him the year after. Mala Influencia is his collaborative effort with Noriel in the year 2020. Following that calendar year Dopamina became his second album. He appeared later in 2021 in a duet with TINI on her most streamed song Maldita Foto. In 2023, he appeared on 2000, which featured the smash hit La Bachata. Turizo comes from an musical family, as both his mother and elder brother also play music. He has said in interviews that music was a necessity. In his early years, he learned to play saxophone guitar as well as piano and ukulele. Although his first career choice was to be an animal veterinarian, his brother Julian convinced him to try taking singing lessons from the Cuban. The lessons revolutionized his entire life.
