Mi
Trayectoria is an album
by Hector "El Father".
Rumored that this might
be his last album.
Hector
Delgado Roman, known as
Hector "El Father"
and previously known as
Hector "El Bambino"
(born September 13, 1980
in Carolina, Puerto Rico)
is a well-known Puerto Rican
reggaeton artist and producer,
that rose to fame as a member
of the duo Hector y Tito.
However, he has become a
successful entrepreneur
and producer by himself.
Hector "El Father"
is one of the main exponents
in the reggeaton genre.
Despite his young age, Hector
has had an extensive music
career.
Los Bambinos
Several years later, he
joined Efrain Fines (later
known as Tito "El Bambino")
and formed the duo Hector
y Tito ("Los Bambinos").
Hector
y Tito released their first
album in 1998. Together
they became reggaeton stars
releasing several successful
albums and making appearances
in several compilations,
becoming one of the most
sought-out duos in the genre.
Both became the first reggeaton
artists to sell out a massive
concert in Puerto Rico,
opening the path to other
artists such as Tego Calderon,
Daddy Yankee, Don Omar,
and Wisin & Yandel.
As a duet both captured
the world's attention and
made reggeaton a popular
genre, winning awards such
as the Billboard Latin Music
Award for Latin rap album
of the year for their album
"A La Reconquista".
In
2005, the duo announced
their breakup, and each
of them has continued with
their separate careers.
Gold Star Music
Hector, who was also Don
Omar's mentor and producer,
has produced a variety of
artists. In 2004 he founded
his own record label Gold
Star Music, and positioned
his group Trebol Clan among
audience's favorites with
over 100,000 copies sold
of Los Bacatranes, their
first album under his label.
Hector
followed the success of
Trebol Clan with his own
compilation album titled
Los Anormales which went
on to break all record sales
in Puerto Rico with 130,000
copies sold in just two
days. Los Anormales featured
the reggaeton artists such
as Daddy Yankee, Don Omar,
Trebol Clan, Divino, Zion
and the duo Alexis y Fido.
The album has gone on to
sell over 200,000 units.
In February, Hector "El
Bambino" performed
in the Canary Islands during
their big Carnival festivities.
His performance was a sold
out success. His song "Baila
Morena", which Hector
produced for Hector y Tito,
was one of the most air
played songs in this Spanish
territory.
Roc-A-Fella
In mid 2005 Hector signed
an agreement with Roc-A-Fella
Records owner Jay-Z to promote
him in the United States
through the newly founded
Roc-A-Fella sub-label Roc
La Familia. The label, created
to house international artists,
would have Jay-Z and Hector
both produce and perform
on a compilation album.
The album titled "Rompe
Discotekas" featured
top of the line artists
both from United States
hip-hop and Spanish reggaeton
music industries. Additionally,
Hector became the Hispanic
image for, what was at that
time, the Roc-A-Fella owned
clothing line Rocawear.
The advertising campaign
including his image was
featured in TV spots, print,
and billboards. The agreement
included a deal for Rocawear
to sponsor Hector's own
clothing designs under the
label Bambino. The clothing
deal included Hector designing
tennis shoes to be released
as part of the Jay-Z's "S.
Carter Collection"
under Reebok.
Solo
career
Hector is also preparing
his first solo album "The
Bad Boy", and as a
producer he is working in
the compilation album "The
Godfather 2" and a
new CD for Trebol Clan.
He
also continued with his
solo career with some of
his songs ("Noche de
Travesura", "Dale
Calor" and "Vamos
Pa' La Calle" among
others), becoming hits in
Latin America and the United
States. It was at this point
that he changed his nickname
from Hector "El Bambino"
to Hector "El Father".
In
September 16, 2005, he presented
two sold-out concerts titled
The Bad Boy in Puerto Rico
with artists like Wisin
& Yandel, Alexis y Fido,
Trebol Clan, Fat Joe, Polaco
and others. Hector
has become one of the most
successful producers, not
only in the reggaeton genre,
but in the Latin American
music business, even working
with renowned Cuban producer
Emilio Estefan.
On
January 2008 Hector decided
to lose weight and contracted
Jose Bonilla, a personal
trainer to help him. He
also began practicing the
Atkins diet, at the moment
of beginning this weight
program he was weighting
221 pounds, he intended
to lose thirty-one pounds.
