[1] Cantero was nine when he first heard the Beatles and The Beach Boys, which he credits as one of his most important influences in his music.

Cantero bought a bass guitar that was on sale with his savings, and started to practice with the instrument, helped by his older brother.

They later moved to Buenos Aires, where they also struggled performing in bars and clubs before recording their first album.

After a label change, the Enanitos began their internationalization with CBS Argentina and became famous around Latin America.

In 1990, Cantero started his solo career, recording Luna Nueva (1990) and Beat Club (1991).
