IAmChino, born José Carlos García, is a Cuban American DJ, producer and reggaeton artist from Havana, Cuba, now based in Miami. He has worked as a professional musician since he was a teenager and built his early career around the Miami Latin music scene.
His big break came in the mid-2000s when he connected with Pitbull's management team, and by 2011 he had officially joined Pitbull's crew, appearing alongside him on stage and in the studio. Signed to Mr. 305 Records, he launched his solo career with the 2013 single "Si Te Agarro" and went on to blend reggaeton with Latin trap and dance sounds.
Beyond his own releases, IAmChino has worked as a DJ and producer for major names in Latin pop, including touring and producing with Jennifer Lopez. His music reflects the party energy of Cuban and Caribbean sounds filtered through a Miami club sensibility.
