Tito Nieves has become one of the most prominent salsa singers in the industry. He was born in 1959, as Humberto Nieves, in R\\xedo Piedras, Puerto Rico. He started performing professional gigs when he was still 15 years old. He started singing background vocals for Orquesta Cimarr\\xf3n and soon became lead singer in the band. His first major breakthrough was when he began to sing with H\\xe9ctor Lavoe in the late 70\\u2019s. In 1979, Tito Nieves joined the Conjunto Cl\\xe1sico band, becoming a worldwide sensation.

By the late 80\\u2019s Nieves had enough professional experience to go out on his own. He recorded his first solo album, The Classic (1988-RMM), which contained the hit song \\u201cSon\\xe1mbulo\\u201d. This would be the first of many productions he would record for the label. His next album Yo Quiero Cantar (1989-RMM), which contained his first crossover English-language song, \\u201cI\\u2019ll Always Love You\\u201d. The third album D\\xe9jame Vivir (1990-RMM), established Nieves as one of the genre\\u2019s most formidable voices to emerge in recent years. Nieves contributes his own composition to the album, with his title track. His fourth album Rompecabeza (1992-RMM), which continued his ascent as one of salsa\\u2019s fastest rising stars.
