About Pitbull:
Armando Christian Pérez, globally known as Pitbull, invites disruption on a global scale as a GRAMMY® Award-winning independent international superstar, education ambassador, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. With billions of audio streams and video views, along with hundreds of gold and platinum certifications, his career stands as one of the most impressive in music history. Pitbull’s signature “EEEEEEEYOOOOOO” grito (yell) is one of fewer than 40 sound trademarks protected by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Beyond music, Pitbull has built a diverse and expanding business portfolio. He founded the Mr. 305 record label and Voli 305 Vodka, and launched Globalization, a SiriusXM channel featuring global rhythmic hits. He recently made history by partnering with Florida International University (FIU) to rename its football stadium “Pitbull Stadium,” the first athletic venue in the U.S. named after an artist. Pitbull is also a passionate advocate for education. He co-founded SLAM! (Sports Leadership Arts Management), a tuition-free public charter school network recognized globally as a leading education organization, currently serving over 10,000 students across 14 schools in the U.S. In 2024, Pitbull teamed up with rock legend Bon Jovi for the powerful track "Now or Never," blending his signature high-energy sound with Bon Jovi’s anthemic rock style. The unexpected collaboration quickly gained global traction, further proving Pitbull’s ability to transcend genres and generations. In 2025, Pitbull launched a high-energy European tour, igniting arenas across the continent and drawing massive crowds — including a viral explosion of fans proudly wearing bald caps and dubbing themselves "The Bald E’s” in honor of the artist’s signature look and larger-than-life persona. This fan movement has taken social media by storm, celebrating Pitbull's iconic image with humor, creativity, and unity. With no signs of slowing down, Pitbull is continuing his global tour, with Australia as the next electrifying stop on his worldwide journey. Pitbull continues to push boundaries and inspire millions around the world, leaving a profound cultural impact and cementing a legacy that spans entertainment, business, education, and beyond.
