Milton Restituyo, better known as Alcover, has helped shape the Latin music landscape into what it is today due to his refined, unmatched production skills that have won the attention of the industry’s top artists, including Don Omar, Nacho, Gloria Trevi, Farruko, Carlos Vives, Alexis & Fido, and many more.
Born in La Vega, Dominican Republic, Alcover’s interest in music was sparked at an early age thanks to his father, a singer and multi-instrumentalist. After making the decision to move to New York, he took the first steps in commencing his musical career, enlisting his high school classmate Juan Abreu “Xtassy” as his creative partner. Together the two formed the award-winning production duo A&X, quickly positioning themselves as the best producers in New York City’s urban scene.
In 2009, A&X signed with Orfanato Music Group where, under the direction and leadership of Don Omar, they played a key role in the development and transformation of reggaeton, Latin hip-hop, bachata, pop, and other genres, and contributed to the creation of Omar’s international sensation “Danza Kuduro.” Their work on Omar’s hit “Taboo” led to their recognition as “Producers of the Year” by Billboard Latin in 2012, and that same year, they received multiple Latin GRAMMY nominations, while Alcover won his first Latin GRAMMY for his work on the album “Meet the Orphans 2” and multiple BMI awards for “Taboo” (“Fast and Furious 5”), “Feeling Hot,” “Pura Vida,” and “Dutty Love.”
In 2016, Alcover and Xtassy released “The Rise,” the first album featuring urban artists to be signed by Universal Music Group. The project saw Alcover’s first foray into his career as a singer, lending his vocal talent to the tracks “Besa Tan Rico” and “Solo Tú Sabes,” a collaboration with the group 24 Horas. Within its first week of release, “The Rise” hit #1 on iTunes’ Urban chart, #3 on iTunes’ general chart, and was one of the top 10 best-selling albums according to Billboard.
Pausing his work with A&X, Alcover continues to pursue producing independently in addition to cultivating his career as a solo artist. Incorporating urban music with the vibrant, irresistible flavor of his Caribbean roots, he has already begun building a blossoming fan base with singles such as “No te dejare caer” and “Te Reto,” which received play on radio in countries around the world including Israel, Spain, Canada, the United States, Bolivia, and Peru. In December 2018 he was part of the line up of MegaBash in the Madison Square Garden in New York City alongside Don Omar, Farruko and many other latin stars, later in 2019, he was invited to participate in Calibash alongside Latin trap newcomers Vice Menta and reggaeton pioneers Wisin y Yandel. Most recently, he co-wrote and co-produced Tito El Bambino’s “La Vida es una Sola” along with Richy Peña and Nacho and co-wrote and produced “Grande” for Gloria Trevi featuring Monica Naranjo. In addition to his multiple Gold and Platinum certifications, the artist recently received a Platinum single for his contribution on Nacho and J Quiles’ song “Cristina,” which was released via Sony Music and produced by Maffio.
Alcover has continued to deliver an ever-evolving sound creating an organic and immediate connection with its followers with appealing songs. This summer the artist released: “Never” and “Ese Bom”, which became a viral sensation in ZUMBA classes around the world.
The talented producer /singer-songwriter is also currently working on upcoming collaborations with Juan Magán, Bryant Myers, Adriel Favela, Gloria Trevi, Joey Montana, Luis Vargas, and many more.
