In 1977, he teamed up with singer Héctor Lavoe and his Orchestra and joined The Conjunto Clasico.

He is known for his hits such as El Amor Más Bonito, Sonámbulo, and the English-salsa hit, I Like It Like That (1997). Present hits from the album Fabricando Fantasias include Fabricando Fantasias and Ya No Queda Nada with La India, Nicky Jam, and K-Mil.
