Mexican singer, musician and songwriter
He was born, as written by himself, -in a barracks (...) I come from the old barracks of the Mexican Army-, where he learned to play the guitar with "Sergeant Chanona, there by the pens." At 16 he traveled to Mexico City where he studied high school and entered the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the UNAM, to only study half a semester and devote himself to the interpretation of songs that he composed. -I was coming to do high school as a good champion / and yes I did it but outside the room-, says his autobiographical version, to the classic Chuck Berry: Johnny B. Goode, entitled "Nunca Me He Llevado Con El Pizarrón".
As a composer, the proposals of his lyrics are intelligent and uninhibited outside the commercial sphere of radio and television, in which the daily lives of the society of Mexico City are described and denounced, as well as the love and heartbreak narrated from a funny way using word games with popular and street language, but without neglecting the seriousness of poetry. It is considered a very important pillar of Mexican rock, although it has also created tropical, ranchero, blues and bolero songs.
On August 16, 1985 he participated in the OTI Festival with the song "Blue Demon Blues
