As música urbana gains traction at a global level, so does Ovi. Born Ovidio Crespo, he borrows elements of reggaetón, trap, R&B and salsa for a sound that’s uniquely his own. Deftly balancing uptempo and downtempo rhythms, Ovi’s discography reflects an artist not only in tune with his melodic gift—buoyed by soft, dreamy vocals and everyday tales of life, love and their ensuing struggles—but also with the pulse of his Latin heritage, as showcased in cuts such as “Los 4 Ases” and “De Cero”.
