Eventually my aunt came to me and told me about the auditions for Menudo.” Viewers watched his skills grow under the training they received. “Honestly, before the competition,” he says, “I never danced before. So the whole dancing and choreography thing was a learning experience.” His vocal powers grew steadily under David Coury’s intense, at times intimidating tutelage, while a TV audience watched: “Our ranges have increased, like, amazingly,” he says. “I can hit low notes that I have never been able to hit before.”
