Cristian Jiménez Bundo (born 2 July 1988 in Barcelona), known as El Porta or simply Porta, is a Spanish rapper.[1]
Biography
Porta began to record rap songs when he was twelve, compiling his demos and releasing his first album, No Es Cuestión de Edades, in 2006.[1] This was followed in 2007 with No Hay Truco. An animated video for "Dragon Ball Rap" attracted over 42 million views on YouTube.[1]
Porta has stated that some of their most important influences have been Nach Scratch, Eminem, Kase-O, and Isasuko.
He describes himself as an Internet product,[2] as most of his fame has been spread through internet sites such as MySpace and YouTube.[1] His songs are spread through downloads from the internet, and he has beaten many records in internet downloads.[3][4]
Porta was given a recording contract by Universal Records, who released his major-label debut album, En Boca de Tantos, in 2008, the album reaching the top ten in the Spanish chart.[1] The album's title track was released as the lead single.[1] However, it was not as well received as his first two albums.
On December 2008 Porta performed his single En Boca de Tantos in the Spanish competition "Disco del Año" 2008 because of being most voted on the webpage of the same competition.
