Pitbull—born Armando Christian Pérez on January 15, 1981, in Miami , Florida—is a Cuban‑American rapper, singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, and one of the most commercially successful global pop‑rap artists of the 21st century. Known worldwide by his alter egos “Mr. 305” and “Mr. Worldwide,” Pitbull built his career on fusing hip‑hop, Latin music, dance‑pop, and EDM, transforming nightlife‑driven club records into stadium‑scale anthems with international reach.
Pitbull grew up in Miami’s Little Havana, deeply immersed in Cuban culture and bilingual from an early age. He became one of the dominant voices of global pop radio, while also headlining major international events—including performing the official song of the 2014 FIFA World Cup. To date, Pitbull has sold over 25 million albums and 100 million singles worldwide, with billions of streams and YouTube views.
In 2026, Pitbull headlines his most expansive run in years with the aptly named I’m Back Tour, reaffirming his dominance as a live performer. The tour runs from May through September 2026, spanning North America and Europe, with Lil Jon appearing as a special guest on many dates, creating one of the highest energies co‑headline combinations of the decade.
