Keyboardist of the group, he also took care of the drum machine, since at first the band did not have a drummer. He is also in charge of the choirs, and since the release of the second album of the band, Re, in 1994, began to be the main singer in some cuts of the album, such as "El Borrego" or "Pez" (although in the beginning he sometimes sang the song "La Bonita y El Flaco" live), changing in these songs momentarily of instrument, from the keyboard to the guitar. In 2004, he and Tom Capone received the most Latin Grammy nominations, with five each. When Avalancha de Éxitos appeared, once again he took the guitar during other songs, such as "No Controles", and from here he began his learning in the jarana, an instrument to which he would resort an infinity of times in the future. He has written songs for the band such as "La Ingrata", "Las Flores", "Aviéntame", "Eres", "Quiero Ver" and "El Mundo en que Nací".
