Tito "El Bambino"

Grrrrrrrr!

With his good looks, squeaky-clean image and mellow, "no tiraera" philosophy, Tito "El Bambino" is almost "too" nice for reggaetón.

Born in Puerto Rico, Efraín Fines Nevarez made his recording debut on a reggaetón compilation titled D' Noise at the tender age of twelve. Four years later, Nevarez teamed up with Héctor "El Father" and the duo became Héctor y Tito (Los Bambinos). One of the first commercially successful reggaetón duos, Héctor y Tito paved the way for acts like Wisin y Yandel, Rakim y Ken-Y and Alexis y Fido. Together they released four studio albums and two compilations before parting ways in 2005.

Only a year later, Tito resurfaced with Top Of The Line, featuring the hit singles Caile, an aggressive reggaetón number aimed at the ladies and the Chai-flavored "Flow Natural," featuring Beenie Man and the Indian stylings of Ines. With the commercially successful Siente El Boom, featuring Jowell y Randy, Tito proved he could hold his own as a solo artist.

Tito also dabbled in fashion with the tropical T. Bambino clothing line and tried his hand at acting with a part in the Puerto Rican film La Ultima Noche and chilling Colgate commercial.

Earlier this month, Tito "El Bambino" released his second album It's My Time and dropped the current single Sólo Dime Que Si, another romantic dance-a-thon. Topped off with Toby Love and Rakim y Ken-Y collaborations as well as production by Pharrell Williams, DJ Urba y Monserrate, Mambo Kings and Luny Tunes, the album could be his big break.
