Jesus Ortiz Paz

Jesus Ortiz Paz is a Mexican singer, rapper, and musician. He is well known as the frontman and lead singer of the famous Mexican regional band Fuerza Regida, whose music has taken Mexico by storm and is also making a big impact on the American charts. The group has been very productive, having released an incredible eight albums in three years. Their second album, 2019's Del Barrio Hasta Aqui, entered the Regional Mexican Charts at number one, and they have also made several other US Billboard charts, including Top Latin Albums, Hot Latin Albums, and Regional Mexican Airplay. Perhaps their most popular song to date is 2018's 'Sigo Chambeando', which has been streamed a mind-blowing 300 million times on YouTube and Spotify alone. Jesus helped to put together Fuerza Regida (which translates as "strength") in 2015, originally to perform covers of their favorite songs. They began playing parties in their local area and soon began writing their own material. Slowly their fan base grew, and after two years of graft, they went viral with an original track called 'Radicamos en South Central'. The tune was uploaded to Jesus's personal YouTube channel and blew up. It caught the ear of Ramon Ruiz of a Californian "norteno" group, Legado 7, who helped them to land their first record deal. Jesus also maintains his popular YouTube channel (which boasts nearly 650,000 subscribers), augmenting Fuerza Regida videos with inventive content.
