His song Hay que cantar has received an award for best original song at the World Championships of Performing Arts (2000) in Los Angeles.
His genre is predominantly pop mixed with Latin beats clearly influenced by the music of Brazil.

This blend of styles gives a vibrant and unique sound to his music that makes it very accessible to all type of audiences
