Valdés holds a degree in thermal engineering from Havana's Polytechnic José Antonio Echeverría. He rose to prominence in the 1980s, for his performance as Bandurria in the Cuban TV series Los pequeños fugitivos (The Little Fugitives). After working in television and theater for 10 years in Cuba, he moved to Spain in 1991, where he became very popular due to his performances in programs like El Club De La Comedia (The Comedy Club). In 2005, he was actor, director and producer of his first film, Un rey en La Habana.
He later moved to Miami, where he broadcast his comedic show Seguro Que Yes on AméricaTeVé until early July 2007, when "Seguro Que Yes" went on hiatus. Since early 2008, his show was transferred from AméricaTeVé to Mega TV Channel 22 and later renamed Esta Noche Tu Night. On December 14, 2011, he launched his second disc, 'Con Cariñito' (With Affection). Since 2013 he has been writing, producing and directing plays with great success in the city of Miami.
