01Career

Bahía has played guitar since he was 8 years old. He did a university degree in business administration, but does not currently exercise that title. He began his career in 2013 in the reality show La Voz Colombia (The voice Colombia) performing the song "This Love" by Maroon 5, and was selected for the first stage of the program as part of the Fanny Lu team. Later it was eliminated in the second stage of the program. During that time, he was part of Capzula, a rock band from Cali, where he worked as a vocalist performing songs as "Punto y Aparte" and "Lo Dejamos Así". In this group he was for almost seven years, until in 2014 he decided to leave he and continue his path as a soloist. In 2015, he released his first song "Buscándote", produced by Montana "The Producer", Ronny Watts and Juan Jhail. This single made it known not only in Colombia, but internationally, and marked the beginning of a great musical career. Later, he released the songs "Estar Contigo", "Tarde", and "La Muñeca", which became the most listened to on all radio and television programs dedicated to music nationwide.

In 2017, he released his first album entitled "Yo Soy", which he promoted with his single "Déjame". The album was produced by Grammy winner, Sky. Other of the singles that are part of the album is "Una Noche en Hawaii", which he performed with the Bolivian singer Bonny Lovy. And "Alguien Me Dijo" produced by Maffio and with the participation of Jamaican artist Red Rat. However, it was with the single "Amantes", in which he collaborated with Greeicy Rendón, with which he stood out. The single since its launch lasted 6 weeks in the number one spot on the National-Report charts. On television he has been guest stars in television series as The Girl (2016), and Francisco el matemático: Clase 2017 where he also composed the main theme song of the series.
