He starred in his first commercial at the age of 9 and then started his pop career as part of boy band Menudo at the age of 12.

Since then, he has sold over 70 million albums and is the proud owner of several Grammy, Latin Grammy, American Music, World Music, Billboard Music and MTV Music Video Awards.
