Martha Ivelisse Pesante Rodríguez, known professionally as Ivy Queen, is
a Puerto Rican singer, rapper, songwriter, and actress. She is considered one of
the pioneers of the reggaeton genre, commonly referred to as the Queen of
Reggaeton.
Ivy Queen did not rise to fame until she moved to an independent record
label to release her third studio album, Diva, in 2003. Queen's albums
Diva, Flashback, and Sentimiento have all been awarded Gold
and Platinum record status by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Her seventh studio album, Drama Queen, was released in 2010, and spawned
a top ten single, "La Vida es Así". It was followed by the Grammy Award-nominated
Musa in 2012. Queen's recordings often include themes of female empowerment,
socio-political issues, infidelity, and relationships.

Drama Queen sold 3,000 units in its first week and dominated urban album
sales for nine consecutive weeks. It debuted and peaked at number 163 on the US
Billboard 200 chart, number three on Top Latin Albums, and number 18 on Rap
Albums. Drama Queen received a nomination for Best Urban Music Album at
the 2011 Latin Grammy Awards, which was won by
Calle 13 for Entren Los
Que Quieran.
Ivy Queen received two nominations at the 2011 Latin Billboard Music
Awards for Hot Latin Songs Artist of the Year, Female and Top Latin Albums
Artist of the Year, Female. Shakira
won both awards.
Ivy Queen's musical style is classified as reggaeton—an urban genre with
roots in Latin and Caribbean music. However, Queen also performs in several
other genres including hip-hop, salsa, merengue, and bachata. Yoselín Acevedo of
People en Español said that "'Cosas De La Vida'—which isn't her first bachata
song, shows that other than being the 'Queen of Reggaeton' she can also easily
convert herself into the 'Queen of Bachata'.
Ivy Queen has also recorded salsa tracks, beginning in 2005 with "Amiga
No Pienses" and "Yo Lamento", and in 2007 with "Si Eres Tú" which she recorded
in a "big-band Salsa" style. She worked with salsa singers
La India on "Cuando Hieres A
Una Mujer" and Víctoria Sanabría on "No Te Quiero".
Ivy Queen cites Celia Cruz, La Lupe, and other "classic Salsa singers" as
inspirations for her style of hip-hop music. Her main influence is Selena, to
whom she pays tribute on her fifth studio album, Flashback, with a
"reggaeton-ed up twist" on "Si Una Vez". She also said she enjoyed the songs
"Como La Flor" and "La Carcacha".
Ivy Queen told Ramiro Burr of the Houston Chronicle, "I admired Selena
because she had that famous crossover success, but sadly she never got to enjoy
it," she said. According to Allmusic, she takes influences from
Jennifer Lopez,
Queen Latifah,
Gloria Estefan,
Madonna and
Salt-N-Pepa.
Ivy Queen cites fellow American rapper
Missy Elliott as
an influence as well.
