Piso 21 is a Colombian Latin pop and urban music group formed in Medellín in 2007. The band’s members are Pablo Mejía (Pablito), Juan David Huertas (El Profe), David Escobar (Dim), and Juan David Castaño (El Llane). Llane left the group in 2019 to pursue a solo career and was replaced by Lorduy (David Lorduy Hernández). Piso 21 is known for its fusion of pop with urban, reggaeton, and Latin rhythms, making them one of the most successful Latin music groups in the industry.
Early Career
Piso 21 began as a band of friends who came together with a passion for music. They took their name from a rooftop (the 21st floor) in Medellín, where they used to rehearse. Initially, the group played local gigs and uploaded their music to digital platforms, slowly gaining attention with their mix of pop and urban sounds.
Their self-titled debut album, Piso 21, was released in 2012. The album included hit songs like “Correr el Riesgo” and “Ángel Mortal,” which helped establish the band’s presence in the Latin music world. These early hits were more pop-oriented but still showcased the band’s ability to incorporate other genres, including reggaeton.
Breakthrough and Rise to Fame
Piso 21‘s rise to international fame began in 2016 with the release of the single “Me Llamas.” The song became a massive hit across Latin America and Spain, and a remix featuring Maluma skyrocketed its popularity. Following this, Piso 21 began collaborating with high-profile Latin artists like Nicky Jam, Zion & Lennox, and De La Ghetto, further boosting their visibility in the Latin music scene.
In 2017, they released their second studio album, Ubuntu. This album was pivotal in solidifying Piso 21‘s reputation as a leading Latin pop group. It featured the smash hit “Besándote,” a catchy reggaeton-infused pop song that became an anthem for Latin pop fans. Other standout tracks included “Te Amo,” a collaboration with Paulo Londra, and “Déjala Que Vuelva” featuring Manuel Turizo, which topped various music charts.

Transition and Lorduy’s Addition
In 2019, Llane, one of the original members and lead singers, announced his departure from the group to pursue a solo career. This change could have marked a difficult period for Piso 21, but the band quickly recruited David Lorduy Hernández, better known as Lorduy, who brought a fresh energy and helped the band maintain its momentum.
Their third studio album, El Amor en los Tiempos del Perreo (2021), demonstrated the group’s adaptability and commitment to evolving their sound. Songs like “Pa’ Olvidarme de Ella” featuring Christian Nodal and “Dulcecitos” featuring Zion & Lennox blended reggaeton with regional Mexican and other Latin genres, showing the group’s willingness to experiment and grow within the urban Latin space.
Musical Style and Influence
Piso 21 is characterized by their smooth blend of Latin pop and reggaeton, often featuring romantic themes and catchy melodies. While they started as a pop band, their sound has shifted more toward urban music over the years, aligning them with the reggaeton movement but still retaining their signature melodic pop hooks. Their music is marked by its cross-genre versatility, incorporating everything from urban beats and trap elements to romantic ballads.
Collaborations and Awards
Piso 21 has collaborated with numerous high-profile Latin artists, including Maluma, Black Eyed Peas, Feid, Myke Towers, and Jhay Cortez, reflecting their widespread influence and appeal. Their collaborations have earned them several awards and nominations, including Latin Grammy nods and wins at the Premios Juventud.
