... Jose Carlos takes advantage very well of the stage to tell the world what he thinks, feels; he believes himself what he is singing and ends up projecting that to the public, thus giving his interpretations an important quality: credibility ... Free is the best adjective that defines it, since for him it's not important the musical genre with which he should fuse his lyrics, as long as it portrays what he means.”

In August 2018, he expanded internationally and made his U.S. debut in an exclusive club in the city of San Francisco where he shared his newest single “Sin Amanecer” which tells the story of two lovers with odds stacked against them, always running away trying to find a moment just to love each other.  “Sin Amanecer” was released globally in September 2018.
