He started his career after facing many obstacles when Héctor Delgado (from the duo Héctor y Tito) gave him an opportunity to be a backup singer. After that, he sang in a live concert with Héctor and Tito in 2003, which was released later as a CD and DVD, which included the songs that became instant hits, Baila Morena and Amor de Colegio.
In 2005, Don Omar released the reggaeton album "Da Hitman Presents Reggaeton Latino", which broke the record for "Highest First Week Sales for a Reggaeton Album" by selling over 31,000 units in its first week, resulting a debut of #61 in The Billboard 200. Wisin y Yandel held that record until "Reggaeton Latino" was released.
The first single released from Reggaeton Latino, "Dale Don Dale [Remix]" , which features rapper Fabolous, debuted at #1 on the crossover chart.
He is currently signed to VI Music through Universal Music Latino.
In early 2006, the Governor of Puerto Rico, Aníbal Acevedo Vilá publicly mentioned interest in having Don Omar participate in a program against School Desertion. However, the Secretary of Education has rejected Don Omar sponsoring it due to his lyrics. The local press has also mentioned that Omar himself did not finish High School.
Currently has his own record label "El Orfanato" (The Orphanage) and had a magnificent performance in the 2011 Latin Music Billboard Awards where he received the Award for Latin Rythm Airplay.

Luney Tunes!
Don Omar's "Puedo Con Todos" is a song of triumph, where the lyrics are made to communicate that no matter what people say, he has worked hard to achieve what they thought was impossible. The song begins with Don Omar, invoking his creative team Looney Tunes alongside Eliel. The lines "Son 3 años, trabajando duro/Para hacer algo que ninguno de ustedes hubiese hecho/Y aquí estoy," show that he puts in hard work and dedication to accomplish what he has, and it has taken three years. He declares that no one can take his dream away from him, "Ustedes no me quitaron el sueño".
Don Omar proceeds to say that he is the owner of everything he gives his time, effort, and energy, which he has shown everyone by achieving remarkable success, breaking records of sales within three years, even without the support of a jockey. His success has come from his fans, who are the real owners of his music. He urges his fans to accept him for who he is, and for those who criticize, to show what they can do to prove themselves to be better. The repeated refrain of "Bling Bling" throughout the song reinforces the idea of his success.
