In 1992, In My Life, Lamond's sophomore album was released, bolstered by the lead single, "Where Does That Leave Love", which quickly charted high.
The album contained a solid mix of freestyle and pop along with a couple ballads, all intended to further build his name within mainstream music.
In late 1999, Lamond was approached by producer Robert Clivilles, to be a part of a male group project for Sony Music Japan.
As the Latin music business, in particular, began to recover in the mid-2000s, largely due to the rise of reggaeton, Lamond released his seventh studio album, Oye Mi Canto, in 2006 on Sony International.
