He has been awarded with multiple gold, platinum, and diamond records, as well as innumerable prestigious awards. His ninth album “Vida,” nominated for four Latin American Music Awards and a Latin Grammys® 2019, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s “Top Latin Albums” chart and certified double diamond for more than 1.3 million copies sold in the United States alone.
