He released his debut single "Si No Estás" in September 2022. The song garnered international attention about a year later through TikTok, reaching the top position on multiple national charts including Spain, Austria, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland, and peaked at fifth on the Billboard Global 200.[3] On 23 October 2023 it became the world number one on Spotify, becoming the first track by a solo Spanish artist to achieve this.[4] Quintero has since released three more singles: "Sobredosis", "Será por ti" and "Sin tiempo para bailar", all in 2023.
