MANUEL-TURIZO

Manuel Turizo (full name Manuel Turizo Zapata) is an urbano and reggaeton singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Colombia whose trademark is his smooth buttery tenor singing voice. He's made major inroads globally to Latin pop. The hit song from 2016 Una Lady Como Tu was winner of the Colombian Kids Choice Award for Favorite Song in the year 2017. In Medellin, Sony distributed La Industria Inc. and also released ADN as his first full-length album. In the Top Latin Albums chart, it ranked no. 8. Vaina Loca was an instant Top Five hit for Ozuna and him the year after. He was a part of the team together with Noriel on Mala Influencia in the year 2020, and in the year following, he released his sophomore album the chart-topping Dopamina. He appeared later in 2021 on a duet TINI on her most streamed song Maldita Foto. The hit song La Bachata from 2000 was made available in 2023. Turizo came from a household of music his mother and older brother have been musicians. In interviews he has described playing music as an obligation. When he was young, he instructed to perform on the guitar, piano and the ukulele. While his initial career goal was that of an animal veterinarian, his brother Julian encouraged him to start learning to sing with a Cuban. This revolutionized his entire life.
