Marco Antonio Solís

Early life and career

Marco Antonio Solís began performing at age six as part of "Los Hermanitos Solís" with his cousin, Joel Solís. In the mid-1970s he formed Los Bukis with whom he achieved success in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the United States. As lead singer and chief songwriter of Los Bukis, Solís became known in the industry for outside writing and producing for popular singers such as Marisela and Rocío Dúrcal. In 1995, after almost 20 years of working with the group, his group members informed him that they wanted to make their own group, Los Mismos, without him. Due to internal conflicts in the group, he agreed. This event is discussed in more detail by Los Bukis members in the 2022 "El Buki" documentary available on Amazon Prime Video. This led him to pursue a solo career.

As a solo artist he has remained popular in his native Mexico as well throughout Latin America and Spain, and the United States with more than thirty entries on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks chart, including multiple number one hits. He has worked with Olga Tañón, Ana Bárbara, Enrique Iglesias, Chayanne, Marc Anthony and Anaís, among others. On 5 August 2010, Solís received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Marco Antonio Solís appeared as a vocal coach in the third season of La Voz... México and won the competition. He went on tour to promote his album Gracias Por Estar Aqui a few weeks after. His album, "Gracias Por Estar Aquí", was released 22 October 2013 and debuted at number one on Billboards Top Latin Albums chart.

Solís provided the Spanish-dubbing of Ernesto de la Cruz, the main antagonist of the 2017 Disney-Pixar film Coco.

Solís returned to Billboard’s Regional Mexican Airplay chart for the first time in over two decades as "Se Veía Venir" climbed to No. 1 on the ranking dated October 2, 2021.
