International artist Samuel has released “ Samuelito ,” a four-track album merging Latin rhythm, reggaeton energy, and the performance-driven aesthetic he developed during his career in Korea.

Born in Los Angeles to a Mexican family, Samuel established his early artistic foundation in the Korean music industry, where he cultivated a performance style and vocal range across pop and R&B. That dual background sits at the center of “Samuelito,” which places Latin influences at the forefront while routing traditional rhythmic structures through a contemporary, globally oriented sensibility. The hybrid sound is aimed at listeners across multiple international markets.
