Professional Career
The members of the group are Miguel A. De Jesús (Guelo Star), Jaime Borges and Héctor Padilla (J-King & Maximan), Randy Ortiz and Joel Muñoz (Jowell & Randy). All five members began their music career writing and producing for other artists, establishing them in the world of reggaeton and rap. In 2007, they joined forces and were taken on by the reggaeton producer of Black Lion Records, Elías De León.
Their first studio album was released on June 26, 2007, and their single hit song No Te Veo reached #4 in The Billboard Hot Latin Charts.
As of 2008 Los Leones stopped performing as a group, however since this was a result of poor contract negotiation and not of any animosity within the group, no official break-up was announced. The 5 members are still signed by White Lion and still have a close working relationship.
On September 14, 2011, Guelo Star confirmed on his Twitter that the members of Los Leones have been getting together for the production of the album Casa De Leones 2. He announced a 2012 release for the album, but this has not been confirmed yet.
On July 7, 2012, all the members of Los Leones were added on the remix to Yomo's single "En Serio". This was the first time in two years that the artists were reunited on a track. On October 6th, 2012: Casa De Leones reunited once again for a track made by members J-King & Maximan, "Que La Nota Le Suba" was remixed with the added vocals of Guelo Star, Jowell & Randy.

Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or career:
“Three words that still have meaning, that I think we can apply to all professional writing, are discovery, originality, invention. The professional writer discovers some aspect of the world and invents out of the speech of his time some particularly apt and original way of putting it down on paper.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“Each of the professions means a prejudice. The necessity for a career forces every one to take sides. We live in the age of the overworked, and the under-educated; the age in which people are so industrious that they become absolutely stupid.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
