From Salsa Student to International Sensation: The Rise of Alex Matos in the Music Industry

 

 

 

 

Alex Matos developed his passion for music under his teacher, Marianlea Sánchez, who introduced him to the world of salsa. He continued to hone his skills with the help of Sandy Jorge, and together they created the hit track "Ponte en salsa," which features ten themes, though only two were released to the public.

In 2011, Matos gained popularity with "Si entendieras," which was made famous by Anthony Ros with the assistance of Victor Waill. He followed up with other hits such as "A night is not enough," "Love is like a flower," "Perfect love," "I want to tell you that I love you," and "What a pity you give me," which he wrote himself.

During his first European tour, Matos met Roberto Ferrante, the president of Planet Records, who agreed to produce and distribute his album "El salsero de ahora." The album, which was released in 2013, contained 12 tracks, including six adaptations and six unpublished songs, three of which were written by Matos.

"Una noche is not enough," one of the tracks from the album, kickstarted its promotion on the East Coast of the United States, where it reached number 8 on Billboard's Latin Tropical Album list and number 7 on the Billboard Tropical Chart. Matos began to gain international recognition as he made appearances on various programs such as "A new day," "Total Access," "Wake America," "Saturday Giant," and "Jaime Bayly," among oth
