In 1997, he began working on his second album, Primero en Mojarme, with Manuel Garrido-Lecca, a music producer he had worked with before in Arena Hash.

His 2002 album, Once Noches, is often considered one of his most successful. It included hit songs such as "Alguien" and "Novia de Nadie," which was a duet with Spanish singer Mikel Erentxun.
