Early Life and Music

How He Became Famous
Espinoza Paz got his big chance when he met El Coyote. El Coyote is a very popular singer of Sinaloan banda music. Espinoza showed him some of his songs. El Coyote liked them and recorded three of his songs. These songs were "Besitos En El Cuello" (Little Kisses On The Neck), "Prohibido" (Forbidden), and "Para Impresionarte" (To Impress You).
In December 2006, Espinoza met Martin Fabian. Martin was well-known in the music world. He saw how talented Espinoza was right away. They started working together on Espinoza's first album. It was called "Paz En Tu Corazón" (Peace In Your Heart). This album came out in 2007.

A song from this album, "El Proximo Viernes" (Next Friday), became very popular.
Espinoza Paz started writing songs for many other famous regional Mexican artists. Some of these artists include Jenni Rivera, Julión Álvarez, and Calibre 50.
In 2010, he released the album "Del Rancho Para El Mundo." It had a huge hit song called "Al Diablo Lo Nuestro." This album was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award.
