Wise (composer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gabriel Antonio Cruz Padilla, (born in Bayamón, Puerto Rico), artistically known as Wise Da' Gangsta,Wise The Gold Pen or simply Wise, is a singer/songwriter in the reggaeton genre.[1]

Musical career

The prolific songwriter has penned hit songs for everyone from salsa singer Edgar Joel (for whom he wrote 1996’s bittersweet anthem “Hasta El Sol De Hoy”) to Mexican pop group RBD (including “Lento,” off Luny Tunes & Tainy’s Los Benjamins) and reggaetón star Hector El Father (including “Sola,” the lead single off The Bad Boy). Indeed, Wise’s work is currently topping Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs charts — bachata singer Toby Love’s “Tengo Un Amor” has spent over 18 weeks in the top 10 slots, peaking at No. 2; and the vallenato-tinged reggaetón hit “Noche de Entierro (Nuestro Amor),” from Luny Tunes & Tainy’s Los Benjamins, featuring Daddy Yankee, Hector El Father, Wisin & Yandel, and Tony Tun Tun, has remained in the top 25 for over 10 weeks, peaking at No. 6. He wrote R.K.M & Ken-Y’s single "Down", which spent two months at the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Latin charts, won the 2007 Billboard Latin Music Award for 'Reggaeton Song of the Year',[1] and fueled sales of the reggaetón duo's debut Masterpiece.
