Tego Calderón is a Puerto Rican singer and actor with an estimated net worth of $3.5 million. Tegui Calderón Rosario was born on February 1, 1972 in Santurce, Puerto Rico. He is the son of Pilar Rosario Parrilla, a schoolteacher and Esteban Calderón Ilarraza, a government worker. At a young age, Rosario’s family moved to Miami, Florida where he attended Miami Beach Senior High. Coming to America exposed Rosario to different cultures and sparked his interests in multiple genres of music. He eventually became a drummer for a cover band. His band covered rock hits by Ozzy Osbourne and Led Zeppelin, just to name a few.

Tegui Calderón Rosario developed a unique music style that incorporated a blend of salsa, plena, dancehall, and rap, it is now called Reggaeton.  He signed a record deal with White Lion and developed his voice for three years. Despite Reggaeton being a fairly new and underground style of music, Rosario released his debut album, El Abayarde, in 2002. His first full length album sold over 50,000 copies.

After the release of El Abayarde, Rosario headlined his first sold-out concert at Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The next day he became the first rapper to perform at the annual Puerto Rican Día Naciónal de la Salsa (National Day of Salsa).

In 2004 the rapper’s album El Enemy de los Guasibiri was released. However years after the release, Rosario claimed that he preferred that the album not be included in his discography because it was an unauthorized release. He believed El Enemy de los Guasibiri was more of a collection of songs than an album.

Tego Calderón has gotten to work with some of the biggest names in the music business, some of which include Usher, Fat Joe, N.O.R.E., Akon, and Aventura. The rest of his discography includes The Underdog/El Subestimado (2006), El Abayarde Contraataca (2007), El Que Sabe, Sabe (2013).
