In 2002, he signed with the label Líderes for making three albums.[2] The album according to Colombian newspaper El Tiempo said that is a great debut and it's so influenced by Carlos Vives.[3] The song "Sueño" catches from the start, and "Noche de Carnaval" and "Magangué" are the typical parties songs that can't fail on a pop disc. The Fonseca's voice is uncommon and shows that knows as use it. The most successful song was "Magangué".[3]

Fonseca's self-titled debut gained him considerable attention in Colombia, including the notice of artists Shakira and Juanes, both of whom offered him subsequent collaboration and performance opportunities. Sharing the stage with Shakira on her Tour of the Mongoose and Juanes at Estadio El Campín in Bogota garnered Fonseca the recognition and momentum he would need for his second album.
