His first album, Ilusiones, had a modest reception. Later, "when he was internally chosen by," Televisión Española as the Spanish representative for the 41st Eurovision Song Contest, he published his second album, ¥Ay, Qué Deseo!. With the homonym song, he received a rather poor result at the contest (20th out of 23 countries).
Apart from his two solo albums, he has contributed to a number of flamenco compilation albums: Cante Gitano, Directo Desde Casa Patas, Esencias Flamencas and Lo Mejor Que Tengo.
