He was born in Puerto Rico on March 13, 1992. His father was a dancer for three years with the singer Vico C. This man died when Ozuna was three years old, and due to economic problems, his mother could not take care of him, so he spent most of his life with his grandmother.

In 2010, he moved to New York, where he lived with relatives in Washington Heights for three years in search of opportunities in the music industry.
