J Balvin has reeled in some of his biggest and personal celebrity friends for a new docuseries called A Great Day With J Balvin, premiering on Thursday, Oct. 17, via Peacock.
The six episode series will “take audiences on a personal journey” with the Colombian artist and “his captivating quest to uncover the secrets of a truly fulfilling life,” according to a press statement. Balvin is joined by Anitta, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, Demi Lovato, Jimmy Butler, Saweetie, and Xolo Maridueña “as they embark on a series of unexpected and transformative adventures together.”
“Whatever comes my way, I make it a great day … whether by playing sports, meditating, the zouk, cooking,” he said in the trailer that arrived Thursday (Oct. 10). “Join me on this journey. We are not what we have, we are what we are.”
A Great Day With J Balvin sheds light on how Balvin (real name José Álvaro Osorio Balvin) — one of the first major Latin artists to publicly speak about his struggles with mental health — finds his balance.
“That’s why I said before, in the darkest moments, I didn’t lose control. But I take my pills daily,” he told Billboard in his cover story interview. “It’s perfectly normal, as if someone had an issue with high [blood] pressure. But there’s also meditation — I’ve been meditating since I was 19 years old — daily exercise, eating habits and the people you surround yourself with. The fact that I don’t do drugs or anything like that has also been part of having that mental, spiritual balance.”
Additionally, the “Mi Gente” singer is confirmed for a Superstar Q&A at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Week, returning to Miami Beach on Oct. 14-18, with other confirmed artists including Feid, Young Miko, Gloria Estefan, Alejandro Sanz, Maria Becerra, and Peso Pluma, among many others.

He will also receive the Spirit of Hope Award at the 2024 Billboard Latin Music Awards, recognizing his philanthropic efforts through his Vibra En Alta Foundation, which aims to elevate young individuals by supporting their educational journeys. The awards ceremony will air Sunday, Oct. 20 via Telemundo.
