Who Are Anuel Aa’s Parents? Meet Nilda Santiago and José Gazmey
Jose Gazmey is Anuel AA’s father and appears to have had a bigger influence on AA’s life than his mother. Just like Nilda Santiago, Gazmey is Puerto Rican, but he is Afro-Puerto Rican. Gazmey had an impressive career as the vice president of the Puerto Rican division of Sony Music Entertainment’s A&R department.
During Anuel AA’s childhood, his father had the opportunity to work in studios alongside renowned salsa artists like Héctor Lavoe and Fania All-Stars. Although Anuel AA’s musical preferences lean more towards other genres, witnessing his father’s interactions with these celebrated artists sparked his fascination with the recording industry. However, when Anuel AA turned fifteen, his father unfortunately faced job loss, which marked a significant turning point in their lives.
