While sharing his musical journey in an interview, he said,
At 17 I went to Havana to study percussion…I was involved with the bagpipes at school since I was in sixth grade. Not in the fifth year, as is often the case, but in sixth grade… And I annoyed my mother until I couldn’t so that she would buy me a Tambora in the center (of Caracas).”
Thereafter, he ventured into the fashion industry as a model, following the footsteps of a girl he met in Havana. Later, he landed an opportunity to campaign for a Mexican clothing brand, which led him to Mexico, where he began his career as an actor.
