Miami, FL (February 20, 2026) — Multi-platinum selling Puerto Rican artist Jay Wheeler took center stage last night at Premio Lo Nuestro 2026, delivering a standout performance as part of a special tribute honoring Arcángel, who received the Latin Urban Icon Award.

The performance capped off an exciting awards night for Wheeler, who earned three Premio Lo Nuestro nominations this year. His heartfelt hit “Una Como Tú” was nominated for Pop/Urban Song of the Year, while his collaboration “Sin Ti” with Morat garnered nominations for The Perfect Mix of the Year and Pop Collaboration of the Year, further solidifying his versatility and cross-genre appeal.
These nominations followed his recent two-night, sold-out run at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico, a milestone that underscored his powerful connection with fans and his continued dominance as one of Latin music’s most beloved voices. Adding to his momentum, Wheeler recently earned a Latin GRAMMY® nomination for Best Urban/Fusion Performance for his track “Roma,” marking yet another major recognition from the industry’s most prestigious institutions.
Kicking off 2026 with undeniable force, Wheeler has continued expanding his reach beyond music. Through his podcast RandomChat and his growing presence as a leading livestream creator on Kick, he has embraced new platforms to connect directly with fans, signaling a bold and dynamic new chapter in his ever-evolving career.
