Grammy-award-winning Colombian musician Juanes is known for his passionate lyrics exploring themes of peace and love.
He has sold 16 million albums in his career, making him the world's top all Spanish-language rock artist.
Juanes has also become a global peace activist, inspired by his childhood in Medellin at the height of civil war. His foundation, Mi Sangre, promotes peace in Colombia by empowering youth affected by violence to become agents of change in their communities.
He is also a co-founder of Paz sin Fronteras, an organisation that uses music to promote peace. In 2008, when tensions rose between Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela, Juanes played a concert on the border between Colombia and Venezuela to call for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
He has been named one of Time magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World, and he received an award for distinguished humanitarian leadership from the Atlantic Council in Washington DC. Before the ceremony, Juanes sat down with the BBC's Katty Kay.
