Juan Belmonte’s official music career started by the hand of Michael Jackson when, after winning an international dj contest was hired to produce and mix the official History Megamix for the late King of Pop.His next gig was as arranger and producer for two of the tracks of the multiplatinum album “A Medio Vivir” by Ricky Martin. This led to his first multi-million selling album, “Palabra de Mujer”, for Mónica Naranjo, for whom he played, produced and arranged 4 songs. The following years, Juan combined producing house and dance music with productions for big artists using several aliases, such as Pumpin’ Dolls, a name that made him a huge career not only in Spain but worldwide. As Pumpin’ Dolls he topped #1 on Billboard USA three separate times with the hit remix singles, “Strong Enough” (Cher), “Maria Maria” (Santana), and “Unpretty” (TLC) - each of them Grammy Award winners. He had also more than 30 #1 and top 10’s on countries all over the world.Kylie Minogue, Rashaan Patterson, Mike Oldfield, Christopher Cross, Whitney Houston, Matt Bianco, Amanda Lear, A-Ha, Emilia, Shakira, Malú, Shalim, MSM and Blue are just some of the artists that turned to Pumpin’ Dolls for a fresh take on their songs. In 2005 Juan disolved Pumpin’ Dolls from his financial partner and decided to restart his career as an artist and also began to write and direct music videos.After several years producing more big hits for spanish diva Mónica Naranjo and albums to other artists, as well as two albums of his own, Juan took a three year hiatus. He was finally able to relax and reflect on his life and his body of work, and he used this time to write his first novel.In 2012, refreshed and reenergized -- and with a passion for music at an all-time high -- Juan got back in the game and formed his own record label, Juan Belmonte Music, along the label The Dance Hut, focused on nurturing new talents around the world. Look for many future hit songs to come on JBM!
