Born in Antigua, he was interested in music from an early age merely later distinct to go a rural schoolteacher. He besides played basketball for the Guatemalan national squad, simply continued to play his guitar and compose songs in his spare meter. After realizing that music was his unmatchable truthful passion, he stirred to Mexico City; once there, he began looking for a record contract and played at many pupil festivals, increasing his status as a protest isaac Merrit Singer.
Arjona eventually launch a narrow through PolyGram, merely the label attempted to market him as a Latin-lover type on his debut album, Dejame Decir Que Te Amo (Let Me Say I Love You). Predictably, the record album failed, and Arjona spent the adjacent pentad age didactics and from time to time composition songs recorded by other artists. He touched to Buenos Aires, began playing once again, and soon returned to the transcription sphere with corporeal more suited to his experiences as a protestation singer, viz. "Jesus Christ Verbo No Sustantivo," a controversial strain about his experiences at a Catholic school as a baby. It gained him a abbreviate with Sony, which released many of his nigh popular albums, including Brute Nocturno. Adentro, released in late 2005, was nominative for a 2006 Grammy in the Latin Pop Album category.
