Many would say the Sinaloan-born singer and songwriter didn’t achieve fame early on. But it doesn’t matter when his popularity shut, the most important thing is that he loved singing as a kid and began to write songs as a teen. Also, he pursues these talents vigorously and won the hearts of Mexicans before he became a hotcake in the Latin American Music scene
