(San Juan, Puerto Rico. 2005-present) Resident (Residente) studied for five consecutive years at the Escuela de Artes Plásticas in Puerto Rico and studied animation at Savannah University in Georgia. He lived in Spain, USA and Puerto Rico, searching ways to fulfill his artistic drive.
He filmed videos for art galleries, wrote songs and a short film influenced by Dadaism art about morals and pleasures that aired in Spain. In November of 2005 the duo decided to establish the group Calle 13 by recording 5 tracks at Resident’s home. They went a step further by presenting them to WHITE LION RECORDS, whom within a week initiated negotiations with the duo.
Calle 13, a project that developed from shared childhood experiences is no longer a childhood address lost in time but a musical passport for the world to hear and experience. It’s a key that will open the door to unimaginable places that welcome their relentless art, once hidden, allowing Calle 13 the freedom to say “I dare you/Atrevete.”
