Saox is the boy — a phrase heard on radio waves and underground mixtapes alike, and on the most important record in the world in 2026.
Born Álvaro Jerez Barranco on the Carretera de Cádiz in Málaga, Saox grew up shaped by hip-hop and the energy of urban culture. He began producing at a young age, steadily building a reputation that would take him far beyond Spain — first to the US, and eventually to Puerto Rico, where he is now based.
His catalogue spans some of the most relevant names in Latin urban music — Myke Towers, Miky Woodz, Cris MJ, Yung Beef, C.Tangana and La Blackie among them — before his early international breakthrough with a Billboard #1 and a gold record alongside Tory Lanez and Ludacris on Chixtape 5.
But it was his work on "EL CLúB" — the lead single from Bad Bunny's DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS — that announced him to the world at a different scale entirely. The album made history at the 2026 Grammy Awards, becoming the first Spanish-language album ever to win Album of the Year. Saox took home two Grammy diplomas as part of the production team behind it.
A kid from Málaga who quietly became part of music history.
