Juan J. Arroyo is a Puerto Rican freelance music journalist with either 21 or six years of experience, depending on when you start counting. In 2003 he founded one of the first websites dedicated to reggaeton and interviewed some of the biggest names in the genre. Since 2018, he's written for PS, Remezcla, Rolling Stone, and Pitchfork. His focus is on expanding the canvas of Latin stories and to make Latin culture — especially Caribbean Latin culture — more visible in the mainstream. After nine years in New York City, he now resides back in his home, sweet island, home.
