William Omar Landrón Rivera, known artistically as Don Omar , performs "Forever King ... The Last Tour", which "marks the end of the more than 15 years of musical career that has captivated every country in the world."

Don Omar was born on February 10, 1978 in Villa Palmeras (San Juan), an evangelical expatur, the eldest of the three sons of William Landrón and Luz Antonia Rivera.

He grew up in the sanctuary of Villa Palmeras, and with twelve years he became interested in following in the footsteps of the exponents of rap who dominated the Puerto Rican scene: Vico C, Brewley MC and several Anglo-Saxon interpreters, according to the biography of the National Foundation interpreter for Popular Culture.

As a fifteen-year-old he became an active member of the Evangelical Restoration in Christ Church , in Bayamón, and during the four years that he was part of the congregation of that temple, in which he was frequently entrusted with the task of giving the sermons, he was also part of from a group that played gospel music.

"A loving disappointment, which I would later evoke in the composition 'Although you left', separated him from that path of evangelization and sought the opportunity to enter definitively into the rapper's panorama, from which emerged the now prevailing wave of reggaetón", according to the National Foundation for Popular Culture.

His first significant experience was a participation in the collective work " Operation Sandunga " (1999) interpreting the theme " Let me hunt them ."

As of 2000, his name would appear in the productions of the main national disc jockey, among them Francisco Tomás Muriel "Buda", Leny Tunes, Noriega and Eric Montero "DJ Eric".

Also, in the works of the most successful duet of that moment, Héctor & Tito.

The first of them, Hector Delgado "El Bambino" , would become his artistic godfather.

In mid-2003, he would produce the album that not only marked his debut as a soloist, but catapulted him to stardom: " The Last Don ".
