Zion

Biografie

• Hailing from Carolina, Puerto Rico. Felix Ortiz, better known by his stage name, Zion, is a reggaeton artist, often appearing alongside Gabriel Pizarro as the duo, Zion & Lennox.

  One of the biggest exponents of reggaeton, Zion has become renowned for his finally crafted lyrics full of romanticism, delivered through his melodic vocals underlined by the bouncing reggaeton rhythms. Neighbors throughout their childhood, Zion and Lennox found a mutual love of hip-hop and dancehall, soon beginning to make their own music, with Zion taking the melodies and Lennox delivering rhymes as the MC.

  Zion gained his first break into the music industry through his appearance on several compilations alongside Lennox, featuring on “Mas Flow,” “Desafio” and “Blin Blin, Vol. 1,” helping to gain exposure. Zion’s impressive vocal abilities landed him a number of other collaborations with various reggaeton artists. The duo’s debut, “Motivando a La Yal” became a runaway success, both in the island nations and North America, earning them a number of accolades in the process, with the record itself selling Gold. The single “Te Hago el Amor” became a big hit and was the single that positioned them as the artists to watch.

  By 2006 however, with constant touring and record label demands, the duo went their separate ways. Ortiz then set up his own record label, Baby Records, becoming the label’s CEO and flagship act. Zion released his debut album, “The Perfect Melody,” in 2007, whilst also becoming an important component for the next generation of reggaeton artists, releasing music from the likes of Arcangel and De La Ghetto on his label. Frequent appearances on a variety of collaborations continued to maintain Zion’s presence in the reggaeton world, with new music from Zion & Lennox forever a possibility in the future.
