Draco Rosa, born Robert Edward Rosa Suárez on June 27, 1970, in Long Island, New York, is a multifaceted artist whose career encompasses roles as a singer, songwriter, musician, and record producer. Rosa's artistic journey took off in the 1980s as a member of the boy band Menudo, marking his initial steps into the music industry. After leaving Menudo, he pursued a solo career that has been characterized by its experimental approach to Latin music, blending rock, pop, and Puerto Rican influences into a distinctive sound that has won him critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base.

Rosa's discography is a testament to his enduring creativity and willingness to evolve. Albums like "Vagabundo" have been hailed as masterpieces of Latin rock, solidifying his status as one of the genre's most innovative artists. Beyond his own music, Draco Rosa is also recognized for his collaborative work, particularly for co-writing hits for Ricky Martin such as "Livin' la Vida Loca" and "She Bangs," which have helped shape the landscape of Latin pop. His battle with cancer in the 2010s led to a period of introspection and productivity, resulting in emotionally charged projects like "Vida," an album that featured collaborations with multiple Latin music icons and underscored Rosa's resilience and passion for life. His recent releases, including "Mad Love Luxe" (Remastered) and "Sound Healing 1:11," continue to push the boundaries of his sound, showcasing an artist who remains as innovative and vital as ever.
