At just 14 years old, Julián David, professionally known as Julda, is emerging as one of the most exciting young music sensations in Colombia and across Latin America. Based in Medellín, Julda is already the talk of the town in schools, digital spaces, and youth culture circles. As he prepares to release his first new song of 2026, “I Need Your Love,” an upbeat track set to premiere on YouTube on February 12, 2026, in Medellín, Colombia, Julda is stepping into a defining new chapter of his artistic journey. With natural charisma, a strong personal identity, and a message rooted in faith and discipline, he represents a new generation of artists who connect deeply with their audience while staying grounded in values.

Massive Digital Impact in Just Two Years

In less than two years, Julda has achieved digital milestones that many artists aspire to for a lifetime. His YouTube channel has crossed 720,000 subscribers and over 300 million views, proving the scale of his reach and the loyalty of his audience. On TikTok, Julda manages three active accounts with a combined following of more than 600,000, while his Instagram community exceeds 300,000 followers. Across all platforms, his brand is being positioned consistently, reflecting a clear long-term strategy rather than momentary virality.

A Journey Built with Family and Trust

Julda describes his journey so far as an “exceptional job,” marked by learning, growth, and gratitude. A key strength behind his rise is his close-knit support system. His father, manager, and producer are all integral to his career, working together to guide his artistic and professional development. Alongside them are loyal friends and partners who help turn ideas into reality. This family-led structure has allowed Julda to navigate the music industry with confidence, balance, and protection at such a young age.

“I Need Your Love”: A New Era Begins in 2026

“I Need Your Love” marks Julda’s first official release of 2026, capturing an upbeat, feel-good vibe that reflects his youthful energy and emotional depth. Scheduled for release on February 12, 2026, on YouTube, the song will debut from Medellín, Colombia, the city that continues to shape his sound, identity, and creative vision. More than just a new track, the release represents growth, evolution, and Julda’s commitment to creating music that connects emotionally with the new generation.

The Birth of the Julda Brand

The Julda brand officially took shape when he partnered with his record label, Lai Music. Together with his team, strategic decisions were made around his image, musical direction, and brand identity. From defining the kind of music he wanted to create to choosing visual elements, everything was intentional. One element stood out immediately, red, his favorite color, which now defines his brand. For Julda, red symbolizes emotion and connection, and as he says, “Red will bring you closer to love.”

Music for Everyone, Beyond Social Boundaries

Julda’s music is created with inclusivity at its core. His lyrics are written for everyone, regardless of social or economic background. Available on all major digital platforms, including Spotify, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, his music is the heart of his business model. Releases like “I Need Your Love” reinforce his mission to deliver accessible, uplifting music that resonates across cultures and communities.

Inspiration Through Discipline, Faith, and Consistency

Julda hopes his story inspires others to fight for their dreams. His message is clear: success depends on work, discipline, and consistency every single day. He openly acknowledges that there are moments when moving forward feels difficult, but believes those tough days are the most important for growth. His outlook is deeply spiritual, and faith plays a central role in his life. One of the strongest lessons he shares is to never stop praying and trusting that God listens and always wants what is best.

Standing Apart from His Generation

What truly sets Julda apart from his peers is his mindset. At just 14, he is committed to continuous learning, constant creation, and spiritual growth. While he admires artists like Feid for the way they have built their careers and brands, Julda remains focused on his own path. His personal philosophy is summed up in his defining quote: “I don’t imitate, I transmit.”

A Vision Guided by God and Purpose

Looking toward the future, Julda’s vision is both humble and powerful. He hopes his family remains well, that his global music project continues to grow, and that God remains by his side throughout the journey. With millions already reached and “I Need Your Love” setting the tone for 2026, Julda is not just a rising star, he is a symbol of a new generation driven by faith, discipline, and purpose, ready to shape the future of Latin music.

The 83rd Golden Globe Awards stood out as a celebration of courageous narratives, diverse perspectives, and breakthrough achievements in film and television. While the Globes frequently distribute honors broadly, the 2026 ceremony highlighted strong frontrunners and a clear emphasis on culturally resonant work.

One Battle After Another led the film categories with the most wins, securing Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, along with awards for Paul Thomas Anderson’s direction, screenplay, and additional honors like supporting acting. The director’s politically sharp yet intimate film solidified its position as a major Oscar contender. In his speech, Anderson commended studios for granting filmmakers artistic liberty and embracing bold choices in today’s landscape.

On the television front, Netflix’s gripping limited series Adolescence — which delves into youth extremism and online misogyny — dominated with Best Limited Series and several acting wins. Its impact reflected a rising demand for unflinching, thought-provoking content that confronts difficult societal issues.

HBO’s The Pitt took home Best Television Series – Drama, while Noah Wyle earned his long-overdue first Golden Globe for his authentic, intense performance in the realistic medical series, proving the lasting appeal of strong procedural drama

A prominent motif throughout the evening was long-awaited first-time wins. Timothée Chalamet claimed his inaugural Globe for his role in Marty Supreme, calling the moment especially significant after earlier nominations. Rhea Seehorn broke through with her win for **Pluribus**, following years of praise without prior major awards. Jessie Buckley further established her status as a powerfully emotive actor with her victory for Hamnet.

Global storytelling received strong recognition too. Wagner Moura became the first Brazilian man to win Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for The Secret Agent, which also claimed Best Non-English Language Film, signaling the Globes’ growing embrace of international and varied voices.

The night also mirrored industry dynamics: Warner Bros. Discovery led with multiple victories amid speculation about corporate changes, while Netflix reinforced its streaming dominance, especially in TV and limited formats.

Comedian Nikki Glaser hosted with a mix of sharp wit and heartfelt moments, including a touching closing remembrance of the late Rob Reiner that brought quiet emotion to the glamorous event.

In the end, the 2026 Golden Globes prioritized depth over flash, honoring raw honesty, artistic daring, and stories that mirror our evolving world. As the awards season progresses, this ceremony has established a compelling benchmark for genuine acclaim in entertainment.

The pair enjoyed a meal with friends at Everest Lounge on St Mary’s Road on Saturday night, while in the area to catch a theater show. Owner Pradip Karanjit reported that his team was “completely awestruck,” but the celebrities kept things understated and casual during their visit.

Even though the place was packed, the staff managed to seat the group. According to Karanjit, the actors came off as an ordinary young couple rather than big names, simply savoring their dinner.

Tom Holland went for chicken tikka masala served with pilau rice and garlic naan, whereas Zendaya picked vegetarian dishes like chana saag bengan, a paneer shaslik appetizer, and saag aloo. The vibe stayed relaxed and efficient, with the initial shock turning into seamless service.

Karanjit wasn’t there during the visit and only found out via a flurry of calls. “My phone was buzzing nonstop,” he noted, explaining that he verified the story by phoning the restaurant. Though bummed to have missed it, he called the event unforgettable for the employees and the local community.

The couple was nearby to see a performance of The Sound of Music at Leicester’s Curve theatre. Holland has returned to the venue before, including for My Fair Lady in 2024.

A Curve representative expressed delight at hosting them again, highlighting Holland’s ongoing enthusiasm for live theater. Performers have said such appearances energize the cast and affirm the theater’s appeal.

Famous for their Spider-Man roles, Zendaya has also shone in projects like Dune, Challengers, Malcolm and Marie, and Euphoria. Holland started on the West End stage before starring in blockbuster franchises.

For those at Everest Lounge, the night brought a special Hollywood encounter, memorable for its down-to-earth charm rather than any fanfare.

Timothée Chalamet is not an actor who does things halfway. For his latest film, Marty Supreme, he did not just learn table tennis. He lived it. What began as a script sent his way in 2018 turned into nearly seven years of on-and-off training, shaping both his performance and his mindset.

“In all my downtime, I would train as much as possible,” Chalamet says, speaking with the calm confidence of someone who truly enjoyed the grind. The commitment paid off. His portrayal of Marty Mauser, a semi-fictionalised version of post-war table tennis legend Marty Reisman, has already earned him best actor nominations at major awards shows, with Oscar buzz building steadily.

For Chalamet, preparation is a responsibility, not a choice. Much like the five years he spent learning guitar for his Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, mastering table tennis was about authenticity. “If you are a ping pong aficionado, it has to look believable to you on screen,” he explains. Anything less would feel dishonest.

That dedication followed him everywhere. He travelled with a table tennis table while filming Dune in the desert and played between takes on Wonka. Even at the Cannes Film Festival, Chalamet found time to practise, training with friends at a cliffside Airbnb overlooking the French Riviera. It is a memory he recalls with visible fondness.

“I get to live this awesome life where I work on projects that are near and dear to my heart,” he reflects. “There are worse things in life than having to learn guitar or table tennis at a high level.”

Marty Supreme tells the story of ambition, obsession, and youthful foolishness. Chalamet’s character is talented but flawed, driven by ego and poor decisions, including questionable moral choices that threaten his career and personal relationships. Yet Chalamet sees the character with empathy.

“When you are in your early twenties, you are an idiot,” he laughs. “This movie is largely about being an idiot in your early twenties, especially when you are singularly obsessed with one thing.”

That theme resonates as Chalamet approaches a milestone of his own. He turns 30 on 27 December, just one day after Marty Supreme opens in cinemas. Looking back on his twenties, a decade that included two Oscar nominations, he describes the experience as surreal.

“I feel like I am living in a dream,” he says. “I am on top of a hotel in London talking about a film I am deeply passionate about.”

That dreamlike confidence was on full display earlier this year when Chalamet declared, during an awards acceptance speech, that he is “really in pursuit of greatness.” The comment drew attention for its boldness, but Chalamet stands by it. He openly admires figures like Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando, Viola Davis, Michael Jordan, and Michael Phelps, people who, in his eyes, redefined excellence in their fields.

Yet behind the ambition is vulnerability. “My confidence ebbs and flows,” he admits. “If things are going well, you feel great. If not, the world is falling apart.” Approaching 30, he says, has brought a desire to be more grounded and kinder to himself and others who are still figuring things out.

One thing Chalamet remains unwavering about is his love for cinema. At a time when streaming platforms dominate the industry, Marty Supreme has been made for a full theatrical release. Chalamet believes that matters.

“I do think cinemas will survive and thrive,” he says. “But it is our responsibility to bring films to people, not ask people to chase tradition.”

To that end, he has embraced an unconventional promotional tour. From fake leaked Zoom calls to colour-coordinated premiere outfits with girlfriend Kylie Jenner and even his mother, Chalamet has leaned into creativity. He has also been gifting Marty Supreme jackets to people he considers true greats, including Frank Ocean, Tom Brady, and young football star Lamine Yamal.

When asked which Brit deserves one, his answer surprises. After a pause, he says simply, “Susan Boyle.”

The actor recalls being deeply moved by Boyle’s 2009 Britain’s Got Talent audition. “She dreamt bigger than all of us,” he says. “Who was not moved by that?”

As Timothée Chalamet prepares to leave his twenties behind, it is clear he is still dreaming, just with sharper focus, deeper intention, and the same relentless dedication that took him from indie darling to global star.

Marty Supreme is released in cinemas on Boxing Day.

Vogue announced on December 10 that Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman, and Venus Williams will join Anna Wintour as co-chairs for the 2026 Met Gala, the prestigious fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.

This event will signify Beyoncé’s return to the Met steps after a 10-year absence—her previous appearance was in 2016 for the “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology” theme, where she donned Givenchy Haute Couture. In contrast, Kidman and Williams are frequent attendees, having both appeared at the most recent gala in May, themed around Black dandyism and titled “Tailored for You.”

For Wintour, the 2026 gala marks her first since relinquishing her role as Vogue’s editor-in-chief earlier this year, though she continues as Condé Nast’s global chief content officer and Vogue’s global editorial director. She has overseen the Met Gala since 1995 and is known for having the ultimate approval on guest lists, per reports.

Vogue also unveiled the 2026 Host Committee, led by co-chairs Anthony Vaccarello and Zoë Kravitz. Members include Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Gwendoline Christie, Alex Consani, Misty Copeland, Elizabeth Debicki, Lena Dunham, Paloma Elsesser, LISA, Chloe Malle, Sam Smith, Teyana Taylor, Lauren Wasser, Anna Weyant, A’ja Wilson, and Yseult, with more names to be revealed later.

Is the 2026 Met Gala Theme and Dress Code Revealed?

The Costume Institute recently introduced its spring 2026 exhibition, “Costume Art,” curated by Andrew Bolton. This show, exploring the interplay between clothing and the human body, will shape the gala’s direction, but the specific dress code remains unannounced.

Structured around various body themes, such as “The Naked Body,” “The Pregnant Body,” and “The Aging Body”—the exhibition will showcase items from The Met’s extensive collections, blending historical and modern garments with artworks. As Bolton stated, the goal is to highlight “the centrality of the dressed body within the museum, connecting artistic representations of the body with fashion as an embodied art form.”

“Costume Art” inaugurates The Met’s new Condé Nast Galleries, a spacious 12,000-square-foot area adjacent to the Great Hall. It opens to visitors soon after the gala, from May 10, 2026, to January 10, 2027.

More updates, particularly the official dress code for the 2026 Met Gala, are expected in the coming months.

Jess Glynne’s 2015 chart-topper “Hold My Hand” has been crowned TikTok’s UK Song of the Year, propelled by the massively viral “nothing beats a Jet2holiday” trend. Long featured in ads for the British holiday company Jet2, the upbeat track exploded on TikTok this year as users paired it with humorous videos of travel disasters, holiday blunders, and chaotic mishaps. After earlier earning TikTok’s UK and global Song of the Summer titles, the song has now soundtracked around 6.6 million videos on the platform. Originally released over 10 years ago as Glynne’s first solo No. 1 single, the song’s resurgence highlights TikTok’s power to breathe new life into classic hits.

Glynne’s Reaction: ‘Insane’ and ‘Blessed’

The 36-year-old London-born singer shared her excitement with BBC Newsbeat, saying she feels “blessed” by the accolade.

“It’s incredible to think that a decade on, a song so personal to me—and key to my breakthrough as a solo artist—is being celebrated all over again this year. It’s been insane,” she said.

Glynne described the trend as giving “Hold My Hand” a fresh “new lease of life,” adding that the happiness it brings makes it one of her top songs to perform live.

She even recounted a personal anecdote: hearing her own track playing on a Jet2 flight to Corfu with her family. “I got a bit nervous sitting up front next to my mum—it was pretty funny,” she laughed. While the meme dominated feeds, Glynne’s own TikTok habits lean toward cooking tutorials, cat videos, and funny falls. Her favorite trend clips include parents coaching kids to mimic the iconic “nothing beats a Jet2holiday” voiceover, plus one standout video of a traveler revealing a comically tiny hotel window, “like a prison cell,” which cracked her up. The singer emphasized social media’s value for artists, noting how the trend has introduced the song to a younger audience discovering it for the first time.

Career Highlights and Broader Impact

Glynne first gained fame in 2014 with features on Clean Bandit’s “Rather Be” and Route 94’s “My Love,” both UK No. 1s. Her 2015 debut album *I Cry When I Laugh* topped the charts, followed by *Always In Between* (2018) and her self-titled third album (2024), which reached No. 6.

Despite its ubiquity on TikTok, where videos using the audio have racked up over 80 billion views, “Hold My Hand” did not re-chart on the UK singles list in 2025. It ranked second on TikTok’s global top 20 songs of the year.

TikTok calculates these awards based on video usage and artist engagement.The platform revived several older tracks in 2025, including Rihanna’s 2007 “Breakin’ Dishes,” Radiohead’s 1997 “Let Down,” and Black Eyed Peas’ 2010 “Rock That Body.” Globally, the top spot went to Connie Francis’ 1962 classic “Pretty Little Baby,” used in over 28 million wholesome pet and family videos, even 60 years after release.

After a four-year hiatus, HBO’s groundbreaking teen drama Euphoria is finally set to premiere its third season in April 2025. At a recent event in London, series creator Sam Levinson gave fans the most detailed look yet at what’s coming, promising the show’s “most ambitious and emotionally layered” installment to date, complete with a five-year time jump that thrusts the characters into full adulthood.

“It made sense creatively,” Levinson explained. “If they’d gone to college, they’d be graduating around now. We get to see who they’ve actually become as grown-ups.”

The core ensemble Zendaya (Rue), Sydney Sweeney (Cassie), Jacob Elordi (Nate), Hunter Schafer (Jules), Alexa Demie (Maddy), and Maude Apatow (Lexi) is back, now joined by surprising new additions including singer Rosalía and internet personality Trisha Paytas.

Zendaya’s Rue remains the emotional center. Levinson revealed she’s now living south of the border in Mexico, desperately trying to settle a dangerous debt with Laurie (Martha Kelly), the eerily composed drug supplier from Season 2. “She’s looking for creative and risky ways to pay it back,” he teased.

Cassie and Nate, meanwhile, appear to have the perfect suburban life: engaged and seemingly settled. But beneath the surface, Cassie is spiraling into severe social-media addiction and crippling envy as she scrolls through her old friends’ highlight reels. Levinson promised their upcoming wedding will be “one fans will “never forget” which, in Euphoria terms, almost certainly means total mayhem.

Elsewhere:

• Jules is studying painting at art school and trying to launch her career as an artist.
• Maddy has landed a job at a high-powered Hollywood talent agency.
• Lexi is working as an assistant to a veteran showrunner, portrayed by Sharon Stone.

Several familiar faces will be absent. Barbie Ferreira (Kat) departed after Season 2, while Austin Abrams, Algee Smith, and Storm Reid are not returning for Season 3. The loss of Angus Cloud, who played the beloved Fezco and tragically died in July 2023 at age 25, casts the longest shadow. Production delays caused by Hollywood strikes and Cloud’s passing pushed filming far behind its original late-2023 start date. Cast and crew have said Fezco was intended to have a major arc this season, and his absence has deeply affected both the story and the show’s overall spirit. How (or if) the series will address Fezco’s fate remains undisclosed.

Despite the challenges, Euphoria continues to rank among HBO’s biggest hits, currently the network’s fourth most-watched series ever, trailing only Game of Thrones, The Last of Us, and House of the Dragon. Zendaya has already won two Emmys and a Golden Globe for her raw performance as Rue, and Colman Domingo earned an Emmy for his supporting role as Ali.

Confident in the new direction, Levinson declared, “I truly believe this is our strongest season yet.”

With a bold time jump, provocative new cast members, and stories that trade high-school hallways for the messy realities of early adulthood, Euphoria Season 3 looks ready to prove that growing up doesn’t mean the chaos, beauty, or brutality goes away—it just gets more complicated.

The Brit Awards Critics’ Choice (formerly Rising Star) has an unmatched track record for spotting future superstars. From Adele and Sam Smith to Florence + the Machine, Sam Fender and last year’s winner Myles Smith, almost every recipient has gone on to global success. The 2026 shortlist—Sienna Spiro, Rose Gray and Jacob Alon, continues that tradition, with three distinctly different talents now firmly in the spotlight.

The announcement comes just months before the Brits make history by moving outside London for the first time in almost 50 years, with the 2026 ceremony taking place in Manchester on 28 February.

Rose Gray – Dance-Pop Firestarter

The 28-year-old east Londoner could barely process the news at first. “I genuinely thought my team were winding me up,” she laughed.

A BRIT School graduate (alongside alumni like Amy Winehouse and Raye), Gray burst into 2025 with her punchy, euphoric debut album Louder, Please. Rooted in ’90s rave nostalgia and unapologetic club energy, the record turned heads and earned her opening slots for Kesha in North America, plus shows with Sugababes and Confidence Man.

With only one album behind her, Gray insists she’s just getting started and the Critics’ Choice nod feels like rocket fuel.

Sienna Spiro – The 20-Year-Old Chart Conqueror

Still only 20, Sienna Spiro has already landed a UK Top 10 single with “Die On This Hill” and released the acclaimed debut EP Sink Now, Swim Later.

Her voice soulful, intimate yet commanding, pairs with lyrics that feel like diary entries set to sweeping, cinematic production. When the nomination was confirmed, the emotion hit hard: “I was so overwhelmed I actually felt sick,” she admitted.

For fans and industry insiders alike, Spiro feels like the heir to Britain’s great confessional pop tradition, blending raw vulnerability with serious commercial clout.

Jacob Alon – Modern Folk’s Poetic Voice

Edinburgh-raised and non-binary, Jacob Alon found their creative home again in the city’s folk scene after a challenging stint in London.

Their debut album In Limerence earned a Mercury Prize shortlist and widespread praise for its tender guitar work and unflinchingly personal lyrics. Winning BBC Introducing Artist of the Year in 2025 was a landmark not just for Alon’s career but for queer and non-binary visibility in British music.

Quietly powerful and deeply introspective, Alon’s inclusion on the Critics’ Choice list signals that folk storytelling updated for a new generation is very much part of the UK’s future.

A Prize That Changes Everything

Reverting to its original “Critics’ Choice” name for 2026, the award continues to champion artists on the cusp of breakthrough. This year’s trio couldn’t better reflect where British music is heading: bolder, more diverse, and fiercely authentic.

Whoever lifts the trophy in Manchester, all three Sienna Spiro, Rose Gray and Jacob Alon, are about to step into a much bigger story. 2026 is their year.

Miley Cyrus turned heads and sparked widespread speculation at the Hollywood premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash on Monday night, arriving on the arm of boyfriend Maxx Morando and sporting a massive diamond ring on that finger.

The singer made a dramatic entrance at the Dolby Theatre in a show-stopping black sequined mermaid gown from Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection by Demna—complete with a structured sweetheart bodice, layers of beads and ruffles, and a sweeping train. But while the dress was undeniably breathtaking, it was the sparkling square-cut diamond on a chunky gold band on her left ring finger that stole the show.

As she posed with Morando—dressed in a sharp black suit—the couple looked completely smitten, with Miley resting her hand on his chest in several photos, ensuring the ring caught every flashbulb. The internet, predictably, lost it.

Miley and Maxx, who have been dating since 2021, have kept their relationship relatively low-key compared to her past high-profile romance with ex-husband Liam Hemsworth (whom she divorced in 2020). In a 2024 Harper’s Bazaar interview, she described Morando as someone who truly “gets” her humor and worldview, a rare match in her chaotic world of fame.

Neither Miley, Maxx, nor their reps have commented on the engagement buzz, and sources remain tight-lipped. Social media sleuths are already deep in the trenches analyzing the ring’s cut, size, and whether it’s new or just a red-carpet flex.

Whatever the truth, one thing is clear: whether she’s dropping a new album, switching up her aesthetic, or (maybe) getting engaged, Miley Cyrus still knows exactly how to make the world stop and stare.

In the exciting world of Latin American urban music, hardly anyone has blown up as fast and as strongly as Josue Ramirez, better known as Prego. This 41-year-old guy from the colorful streets of Medellín, Colombia, turned his company, Lai Music, into a total powerhouse. Thanks to him, their projects have racked up over 300 million views on YouTube and more than a billion impressions across all digital platforms. Pretty impressive, right?

From Dreamer to Industry Force: A Rollercoaster Journey Fueled by Faith

Josue “Prego” Ramirez left home at a young age to chase his dreams and support his family. What began as a desire to become a singer and songwriter dramatically shifted when he discovered his true calling: managing and directing musical talent. Together with his partner Gabriel Rivero, known artistically as Briel-Prego, he co-founded Lai Music, transforming personal passion into a professional mission.

“It’s been a journey of great learning, a rollercoaster of emotions,” Prego reflects. “I thank God first and foremost for allowing me to experience both the good and the bad. Looking back, I see tremendous growth.” The biggest challenge? Lack of investment. Many nights, the team came close to giving up, but Prego’s determination kept the dream alive. “The hardest part is not having the investment this career requires,” he admits. “At times we thought about giving it all up, but I always remained firm.”

Lai Music: Building Stars from Scratch

Lai Music operates like a modern record label with a boutique, hands-on approach. Every artist undergoes a rigorous screening process before joining the roster. Once signed, Prego and his team handle everything: music production, branding, digital positioning, marketing strategies, and revenue generation. Success stories include breakout acts Milo Bvgatti, Julda, and White projects that have collectively exploded across platforms and proven the effectiveness of Lai Music’s methodology.

What sets Prego apart in a crowded industry is simple yet powerful: honesty combined with relentless hard work and dedication to each artist. “I don’t see successful people as competition,” he says. “I like to surround myself with winners and imagine myself always surrounded by them.”

Sacrifices, Faith, and the Universal Message: “Dios es Bueno”

Prego’s rise has demanded heavy personal sacrifices, countless hours away from family, and stepping far outside his comfort zone. Yet he carries no bitterness, only gratitude. “God is good,” he declares, a phrase that has become both personal mantra and public declaration.

His story resonates deeply with aspiring entrepreneurs across Latin America. “It hasn’t been easy for me,” Prego shares. “I’ve had to sacrifice many things, including time with my family and my comfort zone. Dreams do come true and are achievable when you have determination and make sacrifices. If I could do it with nothing, I know others can too, following in my footsteps.”

For young creators watching from Medellín to Mexico City, Prego represents proof that talent, faith, and perseverance can overcome even the toughest financial barriers.

The Future: Taking Lai Music to the Global Top

At 41, Prego is just getting started. His vision is clear and ambitious: elevate Lai Music into one of the dominant forces in the worldwide music industry while continuing to discover and develop the next generation of Latin stars.

From a teenager who left home to fight for his future to a respected director managing projects with hundreds of millions of views, Josue “Prego” Ramirez has already written an inspiring chapter. And the best, as he would say with his signature conviction, is yet to come, because Dios es bueno.
