The song "Calma" brought fame to Puerto Rican actor and singer-songwriter Pedro Capo in 2018, although his musical career began much earlier. He has won two ASCAPs and a Latin Grammy Award.
Pedro Francisco Rodriguez Sosa grew up in a creative atmosphere. Several generations of his ancestors were involved in music. The grandfather of the vocalist Bobby Capo is called the legend of music in Puerto Rico, and the grandmother of the performer, Irma Nidia Vasquez, once won the title of "Miss Puerto Rico".
The path to recognition
The biography of the future celebrity began in 1980. The boy was born in Santurs on November 14 in the family of a popular singer. Music was constantly heard in the family. The father often took his son to his concerts. The first instrument the child mastered was the guitar. Education Pedro after leaving school continued in college.
Together with friends, the talented student founded the group "Marca Registrada" in 1995, in which he was both a guitarist and a vocalist. The team quickly gained popularity. After completing his studies, the young man moved to the United States and took the pseudonym Capo. The guy had to perform in bars and clubs.
In 2005, the singer's first album, "Fuego y Amore", was released. The duet with Thalia in 2009 solidified the vocalist's fame. The hit "Estoy Enamorado" lingered on the leaders of the Latin American charts for a long time. The fans had to wait 10 years for new collections due to the long tour.
Success
"Pedro Capo" was released in 2011, three years later "Aquila" was presented, and in 2017 the disc "En Letra de Otro" appeared. "Aquila" and "En Letra de Otro" took place in the top five Latin American pop albums.
At the same time, the young man realized himself as an actor. He played in Journey and Shut Up and Do It and was an actor in musicals in New York. In 2017, Capo participated in the filming of the film "Almost Like a Prayer" with the stars of Hollywood. New success came in 2018 with the release of the single "Calma". A year later, Pedro was awarded the Grammy for Best Video.
On stage, the vocalist was entrenched in the image of a womanizer, often provoking listeners with his appearance. However, in reality, this demeanor is not characteristic of a Puerto Rican.
Family and stage
Pedro's personal life is not marked by any high-profile novels. In 1998, Jessica Rodriguez became his chosen one and wife. Three children are growing up in their family.
The musician calls his road to success the “rule of three Ps”: passion, perseverance, patience, that is, passion, perseverance and patience. And the musician considers the last the most difficult moment. In an interview, the vocalist admitted that he considers all the obstacles on his path to fame as steps to improving his art.
Pedro Capo is active on social media. He maintains a page on Instagram. The singer and actor not only uploads pictures, but also discusses social topics with subscribers. His new videos appear on the singer's YouTube channel. The musician does not stop creating new compositions and listening to videos to them.
