Biography
After five years of career with La Factoría, he left the group to pursue his solo career. In 2003, he graduated as a physiotherapist. In July 2004, he composed a successful song, and he was recommended to become a solo singer. He released his first album titled Sin Cadenas, in which he had the collaboration of Ángel López (former member of Son by Four) in the single "Que Dios Te Castigue", produced by Predikador. Later in 2010, he released his second album, Flow Con Clase, which includes the national hit singles "La Melodía", "Tus Ojos No Me Ven" and his second collaboration with Ángel López on "No Lo Vuelvo a Hacer". In 2014, Montana released his third album, Único, with the album's title track achieving success in Panama and the United States, where it reached number 35 on the US Billboard Latin Airplay chart.
In 2015, he released the song "Picky" and quickly became a huge success in Latin America and Spain. The song topped the charts in Mexico and was certified Diamond. It also reached number two in Spain and was certified four-times Platinum. Additionally, it reached the top-twenty in Panama and the US Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, becoming Montana's breakthrough song, and managing to sign with his current label Universal Music Latin. In 2016, Montana was one of the coaches on the second season of La Voz Ecuador, where he won the hearts and respect of all the Ecuadorian people.
In September 2017, Montana released his collaboration with Colombian singer Sebastián Yatra, "Suena El Dembow", which became his first number-one hit in Panama, and was certified two-times platinum in Mexico and Spain. Following this, Montana achieved several chart-topping singles in Panama, including "Rosas o espinas", "Viral Pisadinha", "Ya no más" and "Desesperado (Voy a Tomar)". To date, Montana is the Panamanian act with the most number-one songs in his home country.
