These productions established him as the top-selling singer in the history of the genre, able to sell out Madison Square Garden and prestigious venues internationally. He received his first GRAMMY® in 1998 for Best Latin Tropical Performance for Contra La Corriente, followed by the first-ever Latin GRAMMY® Song of the Year award for “Dímelo”(I Need to Know) in 2000.
