ROBI, Los Angeles, May 29
Puerto Rico’s ROBI exploded in popularity when he appeared on the massive hit “Pantysito” alongside Feid and Alejo. After racking up more than 200 million streams on that single, ROBI’s releases have stayed strong, dropping "sorry es que soy bipolarrr" with Young Miko, while displaying his versatility on Jay Wheeler’s “Garabatos.” On May 29, he’ll bring that clout to Los Angeles for a small venue performance. There, fans can take in his signature blend of reggaeton, rock, pop, and ballads, his unique visual style, and the debut of a new single.
