He began at a young age, achieving success in his hometown and carving out a place for himself in the Cuban pop scene. His first public appearances were as a child, and later, still very young, at the Tropicana cabaret. In 1996, he participated in and won the OTI Song Festival '96. With his original song "Me queda la canción," he represented Cuba at the 25th edition of the festival, held in Quito.

A regular on Mexican television programs, where she has showcased her talent, is the reason for her success and recognition: La Movida, El Ritmo de la Noche, Al Fin De Semana, Otro Rollo, Cristina, Sábado Gigante, and Don Francisco Presenta, of which she was a co-host for three years.

Her songs have served as the soundtrack, opening theme, and closing theme for telenovelas such as Preciosa (Mexico, 1998), Alma Rebelde (Mexico, 1999), Yo Amo a Juan Querendón (Mexico, 2007-2008), and Pecadora (United States, 2009-2010), among others.

In addition to performing in her native Cuba and her host country, Mexico, she has graced stages in Venezuela, the United States, Sweden, Germany, Honduras, Norway, Egypt, Finland, among others. She has shared the stage with international stars such as Marco Antonio Muñiz, Olga Guillot, Lucero, Daniela Romo, and Yuri, among others. She has acknowledged Juan Gabriel as her idol.

A controversial figure, he dominated the covers of entertainment shows and magazines due to his romance with Niurka Marcos and his statements regarding his sexual orientation.

In June 2020, he resumed the romantic relationship he had with his ex-girlfriend Arahis Retureta, a Cuban, for just over a year. This happened seven months after he proposed to a Colombian woman named Patricia.

In December 2019, he was one of the guest artists at the New Year's concert in Bayfront Park, organized by Cuban-American singer Pitbull. That same year, along with Cubans Jeikel Acosta and Abel Bosmenier, one of the vocalists from the former group SBS, he released the collaborative song "La cuenta no da." The music video features Cuban singer Haniset Rodríguez and Cuban comedian Boncó Quiñongo.

In 2019, he released the reggaeton track "Yo quisiera," in collaboration with the members of the group LKM.
