Llandel Veguilla Malavé (born January 14, 1977), known professionally as Yandel, is a Puerto Rican singer who emerged in the music scene since 1995 and is the half-member of the reggaeton duo Wisin & Yandel. He released his first solo album, Quien Contra Mí, in 2003. His second solo studio album, De Líder a Leyenda, was released in 2013 and was certified Gold (Latin) by the RIAA in 2014.

Early life and family

Llandel Veguilla Malavé was born on January 14, 1977, in Cayey, Puerto Rico, the son of Julio Veguilla and Lucy Malavé. He has two siblings, a younger brother named Gadiel, who is also a singer, and a sister named Linnette. Before he became a singer, Yandel worked as a barber in his hometown.

Music career

Yandel met Wisin in school. They began performing as a duo in 1998 (Yandel then billing himself as "Llandel") and made their album debut in 2000 with Los Reyes del Nuevo Milenio. They later made the jump to a major label in 2003 with Mi Vida... My Life, their first for Universal subsidiary Fresh Productions. Pa'l Mundo then catapulted them to mainstream success in 2005. Subsequently, Wisin & Yandel established their label, WY Records, and presented an affiliate group, Los Vaqueros. In November 2013, after the duo's Líderes tour, they went on hiatus. Since then he has continued to tour. A third album, Dangerous, was released in November 2015.
