His talents had been recognized and earned him multiple awards including a New Mexico Hispanic Association Award for Bilingual Song of the year with Black Pearl Band. He was the true heartbeat of the these bands. He played the drums, but also showed off his talent as a harmonizer and singer. He played a varity of music that ranged from rancheras, tejano, Motown oldies, disco , R&B and Christian. After many years in the New Mexico music industry forming and being part of new and old bands, he decided to form a Christian band and give himself wholeheartedly to God who blessed him with these many talents.
