Career

Montenegro has been singing since childhood, having joined a kids' choir in mid school, where he first received vocal training. In 2009 in a partnership with DJ Alahin, he released his first single on iTunes, an original English pop song entitled Gasoline Love, which was written and produced by himself. In 2010 he started collaborating with singer Natalia Damini writing some of her songs, including her first hit Feeling the Love. In 2011, Montenegro started uploading several videos on his YouTube channel, singing in English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

His cover of 'First Love' by Hikaru Utada caught the attention of TV staff in Japan and he was invited to take part in an international singing competition called Nodojiman THE World! (のどじまんTHEワールド!) broadcast from Japan, by the TV Channel Nippon TV in March 2015. Despite not being a native Japanese speaker, he performed two Japanese songs on the show in front of live audience and judges. The first of the two songs was the Rainy Blue by Hideaki Tokunaga and the second song was the aforementioned First Love which he performed in the final round of top 6.
