Gonzalo Julián Conde (; born 29 August 1998), known professionally as Bizarrap or BZRP, is an Argentine record producer, songwriter and DJ. He specializes in EDM, Latin trap and Latin hip-hop. He is known for his BZRP Music Sessions, a series of independent tracks which he records with a wide variety of artists. He was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award for Producer of the Year in 2021 and 2023.

Early life Conde was born on 29 August 1998, in Ramos Mejía, Argentina. He was interested in music from a young age and had an interest in electronic music and DJs, rather than singing. His main influences were Skrillex, David Guetta, and Martin Garrix. At the age of 14, Conde began studying music theory, enrolled in piano classes, and began to produce his first songs.

Career Conde's career started in 2017 with the "Combos Locos" that he put together with highlights from local freestyle battles. That environment led him to become friends with figures like Lit Killah, Kodigo, Ecko, with whom he began remixing in parallel. Through 2019 he continued collaborating with various artists for his sessions, including both Argentine like Nicki Nicole and Trueno, and from other countries of Latin America such as Mexican rapper Alemán and Chilean singer Polimá Westcoast.

In 2020, Conde collaborated with Argentine singer Nathy Peluso for the session 36. The song was a commercial success peaking at number 4 and 121 at the Argentina Hot 100 and Billboard Global 200 charts, respectively, being his first song to appear in an American chart. Additionally, it was certified platinum in Spain. In December 2020, Bizarrap became the most listened-to Argentine artist and producer in the world with more than 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify, entering the 300 most listened to artists in the world.

The following year, Conde continued his commercial success with various collaborations. The session 38 with L-Gante topped the Argentina Hot 100 chart, being his first number-one single in the country, while the session 41 with Nicky Jam peaked at number 38 at the Hot Latin Songs, being his first entry in the chart. In 2021, Bizarrap began receiving recognition from different award groups. At the 22nd Annual Latin Grammy Awards, he received five nominations including both Best New Artist and Producer of the Year, while in his native country, he received six nominations at the 23rd Annual Gardel Awards, winning two: Best Urban/Trap Song or Album for the session with Nathy Peluso and Best Urban/Trap Collaboration for "Mamichula" with Trueno and Nicki Nicole.

In 2022, Conde achieved bigger commercial success charting in various countries from both Latin America and Europe, as well as in the United States. In July 2022, he released the session 52 with Spanish rapper Quevedo. The song topped the charts in various countries including Argentina and Spain, marking a breakthrough in Quevedo's career. It also topped the Billboard Global 200 chart and peaked at number 98 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, being Bizarrap's first appearance in the latter. The same month, the session 39 with Snow Tha Product was certified platinum in the United States, being his first single to be certified by the RIAA. Later in the year, he released the session 53 with Colombian singer Shakira. Similar to the session with Quevedo, the song was highly commercially successful, also topping the charts in various countries and peaking at number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, being Bizarrap's highest appearance on the chart to date as well as his first top-ten single and Shakira's first top-ten single since "Beautiful Liar" (with Beyoncé) in 2007. Furthermore, the song broke several Guinness World Records for a Latin song in terms of views on YouTube and streams on Spotify. His set fused elements of EDM and classic techno while paying tribute to Skrillex, who had hinted to a surprise appearance. The set included some of Bizarrap’s most notable collaborations, including those with Shakira, Gorillaz, Young Miko, Peso Pluma, and Daddy Yankee, the latter of whom made a surprise live appearance. He concluded the performance with a remix of Quevedo: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 52, blended with One More Time by Daft Punk. Following the set, Skrillex made a surprise appearance, and the two performed a 30-minute back-to-back (b2b) set.
