Lester Rey is a Chicago-born Puerto Rican singer, songwriter, and producer. Bridging the ancestral rhythms of Puerto Rico with the electronic music lineage of Chicago, Rey's musical style incorporates genres such as salsa, timba, rumba, and merengue, fusing them with modern developments like house, juke, hip-hop, and reggaeton.
Rey's songwriting frequently explores themes of social justice, sexuality, self-care, and cultural identity. His body of work includes the track "Chi Tea," which features Chicago hip-hop artist Heavy Crownz, and collaborations with local musicians such as the Latin artist Gabacho. He has also worked to reimagine boogaloo, combining classic Latin soul arrangements with contemporary electronic sounds.
Rey's discography includes the 2019 single "No Me Olvidarà s" and the 2024 timba single "Cubadentro."
