Ottawa, ON – A&X who are known as being the masterminds behind Don Omar’s top #1 Hits such as “Danza Kuduro”, “Taboo”, and most recently “Dutty Love” ft. Natti Natasha, have been honored with the Award as best Producer of the Year at this years 2012 Latin Billboard Awards. The duo team Alcover and Xtassy have contributed to many tracks on the eight time Billboard Award winning Artist Don Omar’s album — “Don Omar Presents: Meet the Orphans 2010”, where the hit songs have been continuously breaking records as number one on top Latin Billboard Charts in categories such as Latin Pop, Latin Urban, Straight Latin, and Tropical.

Other talented producers nominated for the Billboard Award included Julión Alvarez, Sergio George, and Fernando Camacho Tirado. However, as the winners take home the award for the first time they confess that it was a very exciting moment for them as they have never been honored at such a high level in their professional music career. The nomination alone was an accomplishment for A&X and state:

“We never imagined ourselves with such a significant title as producer of the year and it is truly an honor to be recognized by the industry, honestly we already felt like a winner with the nomination alone”.

As the two renowned producers continue to work side-by-side plotting for their next big success, Billboard Magazine has also placed these two young men as the main music producers that are consuming the Latin world by ranking them at #5 out of the 10 most outstanding producers worldwide.

A&X have produced three number one career singles for Don Omar including the nighty-one million YouTube views of his song “Taboo” for the soundtrack of “2 Fast 2 Furious”. A&X can also be praised for not only instrumentally producing Don Omar and Natti Natasha’s number one Billboard track “Dutty Love” but for also producing the lyrics for the two artists.
