Born in Caracas, Quintero began playing drums with rock-oriented bands. Eventually, he picked up important experience while performing with jazz and latin groups before getting around to record his first solo album, Después de la tormenta, released in 1976 by the CBS-Columbia label. The highlight of this album is La Dama de la Ciudad, a romantic waltz ballad that became a huge success on the radio and charts.[2]

The next year came his second production, Travesía, a rock-pop production recorded in Caracas, New York City and Trinidad.[3] This production gained a significant support from his followers, which prompted the release of Hechizo in 1978, recorded between Caracas and New York. This time, Quintero added a jazzy touch to the production, incorporating a horns section that included the Brecker Brothers (Randy and Michael), Dave Sanborn and Barry Rogers.[4]

Afterwards, Quintero became a prolific songwriter, band leader and productor, releasing 21 records in a span of 35 years.[1] In between, he also has collaborated with other artists in multiple recordings through his creativity and musical versatility.
