One year later he made his debut on LR1 Radio El Mundo, accompanied by the staff orchestra of the radio station and, also he appeared at the TV show known as La Escala Musical that was aired on TV Channel 13. At age 16, after studying singing techniques for a year with Ricardo Catena —a baritone singer of the Teatro Colón— he joined the Osvaldo Fresedo orchestra as vocalist.

He appeared at the Rendez Vous night club, a luxurious and traditional venue owned by the above orchestra leader. Also with Fresedo, he appeared at the carnival balls in Racing Club of Avellaneda, Estudiantes de la Plata, Huracán club of Parque Patricios and Defensores de Santos Lugares.

Thereafter and now as soloist he performed at an important season in Mar del Plata appearing alongside Argentino Ledesma at the La Cueva del Tango and in La Cachila, renowned night venues of that time.
