He announced that he would release his debut studio album in 2021, and released other singles including "Locura y Maldad" and "Los Malvekes".[2]

In January 2022, he released the single "Una Noche en Medellín", which went viral on the social platform TikTok and appeared on song charts.[3] In February, he performed at the Summer Fest 2022,[4] later embarking his first headlining tour, with dates set in Mexico and among other countries.[5]
