Sony Music Latin and its affiliated artists have won big at Premios Juventud 2014, broadcasted live by Univision Network from BankUnited Center at the University of Miami in the city of Coral Gables, Florida.
“We would like to congratulate our artists for elevating the music industry. They conquered these well-deserved awards, and tonight, we are all winners,” said Nir Seroussi, President of Sony Music US Latin.
Sony Music Latin dominated the music categories, with its artists scoring 11 new awards for the record label. The awards reflect the artist’s popularity among Latin youth, who voted for their favorite performers online via social media.
The artists did more than give acceptance speeches at the podium, they also displayed their talents and stage presence with incredible performances throughout the evening. The twelfth edition of Premios Juventud began with the “Noche de Estrellas” on the red carpet, where Sonus set the pace for the rest of the evening. The three brothers gave an impressive performance, singing a Spanglish version of “Me Gustas Así” / “She Likes It Like That.” From there, Venezuelan singer/songwriter Oscarcito lit up the entrance of the arena with his latest single, “Tumbayé.” Both performances served as entry to the grand spectacle that would later occur in the main room of the arena.
Inside the arena, other Sony Music Latin artists and its affiliate labels excelled on stage and were received with cheers and applause for their performances throughout the evening.
- Camila filled the stage of romanticism with their presentation of “Decidiste Dejarme” as the audience lit up the arena with flashing lights.
- Maluma ignited the stage with his hot single, “La Temperatura.”
- Californian Becky G sang her new single “Shower”, which she performed in Spanglish.
- Bachata was well represented by two greats of the genre. Prince Royce performed an emotional rendition of “Soy El Mismo”. Romeo Santos, the biggest winner of the night, illicited screams from the female audience members with “Eres Mía”, the third single from his latest album Formula Vol. 2.

- Pitbull performed a bilingual medley and received a special award Ídolo de la Juventud (Youth Idol), a prize given for his professional and humanitarian work.

Meanwhile, Luis Coronel delighted everyone with “Tenerte”, which has been well-received in both the U.S. and Mexico.
