Villano Antillano

Villano Antillano, born Villana Santiago Pacheco on March 27, 1995, in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, is a trailblazing rapper, singer, and songwriter who has made a profound impact on the Latin urban music scene. Raised in a musically rich environment, she was introduced to a variety of genres, from salsa to rock and reggaeton, which helped shape her unique sound and artistic vision.

Her musical journey began in 2019 with the release of her EP “Tiranía,” a bold statement on LGBTQ+ discrimination. The project set her apart, establishing her as a powerful voice advocating for queer and trans representation in music. Villano’s career reached new heights in 2022 when she collaborated with Argentine producer Bizarrap on “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 51.” The track became a global hit, charting across multiple countries including Argentina, Spain, and Mexico.

A transfemme non-binary artist, Villano Antillano identifies with both she/her and they/them pronouns. Her debut album, La Sustancia X (2022), is a deeply personal reflection of her journey and the strength of the queer community. The album received widespread critical acclaim for its raw energy and empowering messages.

In 2023, Villano took her influence to the next level with the announcement of her first U.S. tour, La Sustancia X USA Tour. Known for breaking barriers in the Latin music world, her collaborations with major artists like Bad Bunny continue to push the envelope, sparking important conversations about gender, identity, and sexuality. Villano remains an inspiration for many within the LGBTQ+ community and beyond.
