Biography

This solo project started with the last Fun People album Angustia, no, no (2000) where the BBK single "Hold me/I Do" was attached.^[4] Subsequently, the debut LP Okey Dokey (2001) and multiple maxi singles and B-sides filled with oddities appeared, continuing a constant in the singer's career - a continuous and multi-format editing of his work in the case of BBK is entirely edited (in Argentina) by their label Ugly Records, created by Carlos himself.^[5]
