He opened the show by running on stage to the sound of his authentic Mexican band playing an extended introduction to the title track from Today Or Tomorrow, whilst he introduces himself and the set that he was about to play. With a Grammy Award nomination under his belt, he is now an incredibly successful artist, with his track Damaso had over 37 million views in YouTube.
