His breakthrough came with the 1999 album Imagínate, followed by Así Soy (2000), Un Chico Malo (2001), and Ven a Mi (2003). In 2003 he released the EP Super Seis, and in 2008 the album Dinámico under a new label. Notable tracks include "Amor de Verdad" (remix, 2016) and "Tú Me Confundes." In 2013 he released Huellas, framed as a tribute to Frankie Ruiz and featuring a guest appearance by Domingo Quiñones, and in 2016 he joined Bobby Cruz’s Salsa Factory Bunch.
