John Eric

John Eric is a Puerto Rican urban music artist. He was born John Eric Calderón Osorio on March 4, 1983, in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. He is also sometimes known as John Eric La Roca. He showed an interest in reggaeton and urban music at a very young age, writing his own songs at age 11. This led to him quickly performing at local parties and community centers, eventually signing a contract with Guatauba Productions in 2000. Though he would appear on various tracks throughout the years, it wasn’t until 2005 that he released his first solo album, Peso Completo. It was a smash success, selling over 100,000 copies and peaking at Number 45 on the Top Latin Albums chart. The track “Tembleque” became a hit for John Eric, charting on Billboard’s Hot Latin Tracks chart. Soon, he was collaborating with big-name artists such as Tego Calderón, Zion y Lennox, and more. In 2007, he released his second album Borrón y Cuenta Nueva. In 2009, John Eric collaborated with Angel y Khriz on the hit song “Na de Na,” which received a nomination for the Billboard Latino awards as well as being named ASCAP’s Tropical Song of the Year. “Na de Na” would also go on to be named among Rolling Stone’s list of 100 Best Reggaeton Songs of All Time. In 2020, his hit single "Raka Taka Taka" was remixed by DJ Bryan Flow and became a viral success on TikTok and other platforms. A new version of the song with his re-recorded vocals was released and reached Number 89 on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 chart.
