While some may sit and wonder if Reggaetón is just the latest trend to hit the airwaves, one thin... Speedy is all about speed.

While some may sit and wonder if Reggaetón is just the latest trend to hit the airwaves, one thing is evident – those energetic sounds booming from the speakers are making a mark on the mainstream and dominating today's club scene throughout the world. Speedy's striking voice combined with pushing beats immediately makes you want to move your feet. Nueva Generación, his latest album, is a breathtaking album – no need for breaks, it's all about speed.

If you have Speedy tell it, his brand of music is a hybrid of "different Latin American styles, but the basis still comes from the Jamaican dancehall and American rap music. You'll also find Spanish and Columbian influences in this music."

Speedy, born Antonio Ortiz García, has been a mainstay in the music scene of Puerto Rico since the release of his 1998 debut. Hailing from the island's south section, he was awed by the swift, welcome reception his music received throughout Europe via club, mixtape and radio DJ's. "It was a complete shock," he says of his widespread appeal. "I'd never left Puerto Rico and suddenly, I was being asked to fly to France, Germany and The Netherlands to perform. At first, it all seemed like a joke."

For his efforts, he garnered Top 10 chart positions in far-off lands including France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and Holland for his collaboration with songstress, Lumidee, Siéntelo (Feel It).

Fast-forwarding to 2005, Speedy, now 27, is officially bringing his musical message Stateside with the album, Nueva Generación. Already a chart-topper throughout Europe, the domestic album, complete with 13 tracks produced by DJ Blass, has been infused with new songs including Amore Con La Ropa and Girla. Along with the signature sounds of MTV2 Award Nominee Daddy Yankee on Para Que Bailen, which uses the melody of The Cranberries' huge hit record Zombie, and songstress Lumidee on the first single, Siéntelo (Feel It), Kilo, Blade Pacino and DJ Blass lend a helping hand on Vamos Allá, which incorporates the Big Collie Dance Riddim backed by hand claps and Asian elements.

"Most of the songs on the album are about sexuality," admits Speedy. "I'm a responsible person, so it's all about safe sex and treating women with respect and integrity," he adds.
