Ivy Queen

Reggaeton's resident rude girl, Ivy Queen (aka Maria Ivelisse Pesante) was born on March 4th, 1972 in A?asco, Puerto Rico. A gifted singer, Pesante actually got her start as a songwriter, but at the age of eighteen she made an abrupt about face and moved to Puerto Rico, where she began working with local star DJ Negro and ultimately joined the group Noise. She quickly started penning hits for the group, and in 1997 she released her solo debut En Mi Imperio, which spawned hits like "Como Mujer" and established Pesante as a voice to be reckoned with in the male-dominated reggaeton world. A 1999 collaboration with Wyclef Jean on "In The Zone" helped bring her to the attention of American audiences.
