Renowned as the lead vocalist of the Texas-born Tejano band Siggno, he and the rest of the band skyrocketed to fame for their Latin Grammy-nominated albums Capitulo 5 and Six Pack. He grew up playing impromptu music on pots and pans. He then began practicing on actual conjunto instruments and eventually began performing with gospel bands. By fifteen he'd secured a gig with a local band to play weddings and parties.
