Don Dinero

Jose Manuel Guitian a.k.a. Don Dinero was born and raised in the notorious
 Washington Heights, New York. Inspired by the early-greats, Dinero knew he
 wanted to rap. In 1999, he focused on rendering his creative passion into a
 business; thus, he teamed up with his older brother, Oscar Guitian.
 Together, they launched Last Laugh Records, independently. Although
 short-lived, it was through that investment that Don Dinero first learned
 the business concepts for an independent record label.

 In January 2002, Dinero moved to Miami to begin production of a new album
 that was to be written and recorded entirely in Spanish. Eight months
 later, he delivered the album, Que Bola, and after a brief appearance on
 Miami's Salsa 98.3, his career catapulted almost immediately.

 The single, Pana Pana, made Don Dinero the first Latin Urban Artist to
 break tropical radio.
 In 2003, his career continued to flourish. He appeared on the The Roof for
 MUN 2. Universal Latino picked up the Que Bola album for distribution.
 Dinero also appeared as a guest on the Latin talk show phenomenon,
 Christinae, and then released his Su Vida y La Calle DVD. In 2004, Dinero
 was honored to be selected to appear on the CELIA CRUZ tribute album in
 which Son De La Loma, the song he was featured on, was released as a
 single. Next, Dinero landed a feature with Mexican pop princess, PILAR
 MONTENEGRO, and then released The Best of Don Dinero Remixes Album and DVD.
 Dinero accomplished these achievements before there was even an urban Latin
 music market in existence.

 In 2004, Robert Tito Montanez aka Screw passed away leaving the movement
 Block Royal; an organization that stands for Love, Loyalty, and Respect. In
 2005, Dinero teamed up with A.K., Flav and 2Tune to continue the works of
 Screw. Full force ahead, now Block Royal has a symbolic meaning that's
 supported by communities across the United States. Block Royal apparel has
 a unique design for an urban clothing line.

 After performances, and appearances on popular syndicated shows, at
 concerts, festivals, clubs, and everywhere in between, Don Dinero, is now a
 household Name. Due to his independent success with Que Bola, in early
 2005, he became the first urban artist to snag a joint venture deal with
 Universal Latino. He then released his second Spanish album, Ahora Que Si.
 Since then, Dinero has sold over 220,000 records overall. The third Spanish
 album, El Ultimo Guerrero, was for fans to hear the heart and soul of a
 Latino pride. In 2006, Don Dinero closed a joint venture deal with
 Universal Music Group, which was valued at $150,000, for his album, The
 Spanish Frank Sinatra.

 As a hip-hop artist, in the midst of a Reggaeton mainstream invasion,
 Dinero is definitely unique. He has managed to remain on top while staying
 true to his New York hip-hop roots. Often referred to as the first of his
 kind, a Pioneer of Latin Hip-Hop, he feels privileged to be granted the
 opportunity to pave a way for other upcoming Latin Hip-Hop Artists, who
 share a similar passion for the business and the music respectfully.
