Alexis' real name is Raúl Alexis Ortíz (b. August 5, 1979), while Fido's real name is Joel Martínez (born July 14, 1979). They own the label Wild Dogz, which they created in 2006. According to Alexis & Fido, in an interview, the song "El Palo" put them on the map and made them known. In an interview, Fido stated that he served in the U.S. Army for four years. He married Rosa Rodríguez on August 9, 2008. The ceremony took place in Carolina, with Alexis serving as best man. In 2008, the duo participated in a campaign to promote voting in the 2008 general elections in Puerto Rico. This initiative included a concert titled "Vota o quédate callao". In fewer than four years, Alexis y Fido have released three albums and contributed tracks to countless compilation albums, furthering their reputation as major contenders in the genre. Though Alexis y Fido have been performing reggaetón since their adolescent years, it wasn't until 2005 that they exploded into the international stratosphere. Their debut album, 2005's The Pitbulls, debuted at the No. 2 spot on Billboard’s Top Heatseekers and the Latin Rhythm charts and at the No. 1 spot on the Top Latin Albums chart, eventually reaching gold status with over 200,000 copies sold worldwide. Their debut single, 2005’s “Eso Ehh!”, remained steadfast in the Top 10 of Billboard's Hot Latin Singles chart for ten consecutive weeks and, in addition, was featured on an episode of HBO's critically acclaimed series The Wire, and on the television series Entourage. In 2006, building on the momentum of their debut album, Alexis y Fido released Los Reyes del Perreo, a greatest hits album that included some of the cuts that first garnered attention from reggaetón fans and insiders alike, infectious and danceable songs that appeared in some of the most memorable and highest-selling compilation albums in the history of the genre. From “El Palo”, featured in 2003's El Band 11 Korrupto to “Tocále Bocina,” from producer Noriega’s Contra La Corriente, “El Rolo” from La Misión 4 and “El Tiburón” from Luny Tunes’ 2005 compilation Más Flow 2, these clever, picaresque cuts established Alexis y Fido as a rambunctious tour de force with boundless creative energy. A year later, they returned with an even stronger, more infectious sound and image. Before the release of their second album "Sobrenatural" (2007), Alexis y Fido appeared in the reggaetón-centered drama, Feel the Noise, produced by Jennifer Lopez and starring R&B singer Omarion, Melonie Diaz and Rosa Arredondo. The album spawned two singles, “5 Letras” and “Soy Igual Que Tú,” both of which topped the Latin Rhythm chart. The latter remained atop Billboard’s Latin Rhythm chart for over a month. Sobrenatural sold over 100,000 units worldwide. With the upcoming release of Down to Earth, Alexis y Fido will continue their ascent to the top of the reggaetón chain and will continue to prove themselves as the bridge between the genre’s past and its future. Their time to shine has finally arrived. In November Alexis & Fido are planning to make a new Album giving young people positive lyrics and they going call it "Creando Conciencia" ("Creating Conscience").
