Career

Nan started his career as a singer when he was a teenager because he had his first band when he was thirteen years old. The members of the band were much older than him. They discovered Nan's talent when they listened to him in the chorus of the Church. When he was eighteen, he travelled to United States after receiving an important offer which carried on the musical lifestyle.

He had his own first group of music named Hake Rock, which lasted only for four years and had a particular style because it seemed to be bands of Rock such as Guns N' Roses, Bon Jovi and Whitesnake. As a consequence of this band, he could record a solo which was "Play".^[1]

In 2010 he had his first own solo as a composer ad singer in his album called "Un Nuevo Camino". Its songs were such as "Cómo olvidar", "Tú y yo", "Hasta el fin" and "La puerta del amor" from Nino Bravo; which sounded in some radio programmes from Latin America. At the beginning of 2011 he produced his videoclip "Realidades" and it was shown in different musical channels. This song was adopted from the Chilean Association "No Más" to fight for the Bullying Women Rights in that country.

He made his acting debut in March 2011. He was the main character of Moonlighter,^[2] the film written by Michael Snyder and directed by Pablo Arriola. The film was about Kris´life, an ideal man for any woman. He was a psychopath. He acted with Karina Mohor, one of the youngest talents in Telemundo channel. This film was chosen to participate in one of the most important cinema festivals like Cannes Festival, Gold Lion Festival from Africa, Cinema Festival in Marbella 2011 or the HBO Production.

In the middle of 2011, he became part of the well known play "Joseph and the amazing technicolor dreamcoat" (José, el soñador) and he acted as Levi, one of the main characters in this Broadway music hall, written by Andrew Lloyd Webber. This play was presented in Miami Dade Auditorium.

In 2012, he performed his EP named "Esencia",^[3] which was recorded in the Ingenious Tunes Studios.
