[1] The first song he wrote was titled "Dulce amiga" at the age of 12, inspired by a childhood friend who was allowed to watch television at her house.

[citation needed] That same year, Pepe Rodas, director of the Radio Corporación, whom Torres met in one of the restaurants where he sang, invited him to the studios to record the demo that would change the course of his life.

[citation needed] Torres moved to Guatemala and started a solo career recording his first album, Algo especial (Something Special) in 1976.

In 1977, he released the album Acariciame (Caress Me) and one year later, he was selected by TCS to represent his country in the seventh edition of the OTI Festival that was held in Santiago, Chile.

Some of his more famous songs are "Hazme olvidarla", "La Unica" (The Only One), "Lo Que Se Dice Olvidar", "Si Estuvieras Conmigo" (If you were here with me), "Nada se compara contigo" (Nothing Compares to You), "A ti mi amor" (To you my love), "Te Olvidaré" (I'll Forget You), and "El último romántico" (The Last Romantic).
