54 Ultra is the solo project of John Anthony Rodriguez, a New Jersey-based artist who blends Latin soul, indie rock, R&B, and synth pop into a distinctive sound rooted in his Puerto Rican and Dominican heritage. Drawing on old-fashioned recording techniques and bilingual songwriting, he crafts warmly retro, nostalgic music that defies genre boundaries. With 8.1M monthly Spotify listeners, 54 Ultra has performed at major festivals including Coachella 2025 and continues to redefine contemporary Latin music on his own terms.
