His single «Presiento» was selected among Radio Listín’s 25 highlighted local songs of 2006. In 2007 the band was selected to perform at events preceding MTV’s Latin American awards.

In 2010 he took part in «El Rocksario», a tribute by Dominican rock musicians to Los Hermanos Rosario. His live career also included the «Dominican Republic Jazz Festival» in Cabarete. Alongside his solo work, he became a guitarist and vocalist with «Metanoia» and collaborated with Gnómico and producer Joel Berrido, known as Macrofunk.
