For three years he led the event "La Nueva Generación De Estrellas" (The New Generation of Stars) and participated as a voice actor for Disney in the animated series Recess.
In 2002, he auditioned for the Second Generation of the Academy, which was one of the 16 selected. His first appearance on national television was on 8 December 2002 at the concert "El Relevo" where members of the First Generation of the Academy sang a duet with members of the Second Generation, being this concert, the presentation of new academics.[2]
La Academia

However, the new winners said they now feared for their artistic future and would like to TV Azteca promote concerts for them as well as the First Generation.[8]
On 6 March 2003 began the Desafío de Estrellas, which since the beginning marked a preference for the artists of the first generation,[9] which had already given concerts all over Mexico and already had the sympathy of the audience and stage experience. However, the vocal quality of the students of the Second Generation was reflected in different interpretations made in duets with students of the First Generation, where, despite his inexperience, matched and sometimes surpassed former students of the first generation, however, the preference for their ancestors followed and when the third concert finished, there were only 5 finalists of the Second Generation in the contest, which generated complaints from artists of the Second Generation who felt that the competition was unfair because their predecessors were more experienced, had 45 concerts over and five months plus on display.[10]
