He regularly performs at festivals and fairs such as the Chimalhuacán Metropolitan Fair 2024, the Coca-Cola Flow Fest and La Santa Fiesta at Foro Sol, but he has also had solo concerts such as the three sold-out dates in August 2024 at the BB Auditorium in Mexico City or his performance at the Axe Ceremonia in 2023.
