His debut album, also called "Creiste," came out in 2005. He followed it with other records like "Viviendo" in 2007, "Sin Miedo" in 2010, and "Por Siempre" in 2015. He works with a band of musicians who help shape the instrumental sound behind his lyrics.
His music tends to draw listeners who respond to its emotional clarity, even as some critics have found it too sentimental at times.
