Say hello to Kortez, The creator of HIP-POP. A truly original personality and voice. Kortez is known for delivering unforgettable hooks and catchy melodies, but his musical reach goes broader than whats expected, which can be heard on his debut single Pa Que Sudes produced by Los Khelf. Kortez is one of a very few artists in the game that sings and raps his rhymes. Kortez flamboyant voice perfectly compliments his immensely likeable character while staying true to the fundamentals of hip hop and pop by creating his own musical style.
Raised in Barrio Cortes, a section of Manati, Puerto Rico that is widely known for its hard knock way of life, The high octane performer may have been short on finances and luxuries, but he has always been long on imagination and musical talent.
Kortez is one of the most engaging personalities to bless the music scenes in recent years, Kortez has parlayed a visually distinctive appeal and creative flow into a winning combination that is sure to spark a trend across the globe. I look at myself like the Picasso of the music world for the youth as Im painting a real colorful picture with my style and music.
