In the Evangelist church he studied theater, poetry and singing. Later, he was part of the band “La Dinámica”, where he stayed for more than a year and then he was part of “La Dinámica Band”, a well known band throughout the Dominican Republic. He worked with the merengue singer Elvis Montilla as a second voice.
At the age of 18, he received a proposal from a businessman to travel to the Republic of Argentina after the recommendation of immortal merenguero Johnny Ventura, to be part of a band led by a soloist, Angel Videla. Together with three Dominican companions, they began a new stage in their lives and in the popular music of Córdoba.
The 4-month contract ended, he decided together with his friends to carry out a project that would make known new forms in the music of the place, this is how the band “Rataplan” was born, and after participating in other bands in Argentina, Jean Carlos began to develop different facets as a singer, dancer and composer, gaining recognition and popularity, for which a year later he decided to form his own music band.
