El Potro de Sinaloa

Both of his brothers, Ignacio and Tomas, had careers as musicians in Mexico. Early in his career he adopted his stage name (which means "the colt of Sinaloa"), and became a popular performer throughout the country. In 1996 he signed with Sony Records; he later recorded for EMI and then Lideres, a Universal Records subsidiary. In 2007 he was nominated for a Latin Grammy award.
