Music career

Yandel met Wisin in school.[5] They began performing as a duo in 1998[6] (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.[7] In November 2013, after the duo's Líderes tour, they went on hiatus.[8] Since then he has continued to tour.[9] A third album, Dangerous, was released in November 2015.[10][11]
