Joaking el18

oaquín Isaías León, better known as “JOAKING EL 18” (THE KID FROM THE BLOCKS), was born on April 1, 2004, in Caballito, Buenos Aires, Argentina. He grew up in the José Ingenieros neighborhood, better known as “LOS MONOBLOCK DE TABLADA COMP. EL 18,” and loved music from a young age. Influenced by cumbia, rock, reggaeton, and hip hop, his first contact with music was at age 5, as a member of the cumbia band “CUMBIA TENTA,” from his own neighborhood, where he played the güiro. Since the age of 12, he has dreamed of becoming a music star, and to this day, he continues to pursue that dream. His music career as "JOAKING EL 18" began during quarantine (2020) by uploading videos to his Instagram account. Gabi Mendoza (GM BEAT) discovered his talent and decided to give him a hand, continuing to be his producer to this day. In 2022, he reached his first million views on YouTube and one million streams on Spotify with "JOAKING RKT." 2026 is shaping up to be a huge year.
