Aleks Syntek

Aleks Syntek started as Alejandro Sánchez Pizarro in Mexico City, playing multiple instruments before joining the pop group La Gente Normal in 1984. He went solo in 1991 with his self-titled debut album, which included tracks like 'Sexto Sentido' and 'No Encuentro.' His follow-up, 'Historias de Dance y Rock and Roll,' came out in 1993 with songs such as 'Duele el Amor' and 'El Lugar Más Adecuado.'

In the early 2000s, there were plagiarism allegations around 'Duele el Amor,' which he recorded with Ana Torroja. He kept making music through that, putting out albums like 'De Noche' in 2004 and 'Romantico Desliz' a decade later. Some of his other well-known songs are 'Corazones Invencibles,' 'Intocable,' and 'Sexo, Pudor Y Lagrimas.'

Syntek has worked with musicians like Rodrigo Montfort on drums, Arturo Ybarra on bass, and Chacho Gaytán on keyboards. In 2016, his comments on Mexican politics drew criticism from various sides. He's been releasing music for years, but the focus stays on the songs themselves rather than any grand narrative about his career.
