Born in Las Cañitas, Sabana de la Mar, and raised in Hato Mayor del Rey, he built a prolific career spanning from the 1970s to the 2010s. He also wrote songs for other Dominican artists, collaborating with legends like Fernando Villalona and Yolandita Monge. Though he passed away in Santo Domingo due to heart-related issues, his music lives on through enduring classics and ongoing tributes across the Dominican Republic.
