Notable songs by the duo included singles "Mi niña bonita", "Tu angelito", "Lo que no sabés tú", "El poeta", "Regálame un muac", "Bebé bonita", "Me voy enamorando" (with Farruko) and "Andas en mi cabeza" (featuring Daddy Yankee).

In 2010, the group won a Latin Grammy for Best Urban Album for Mi Niña Bonita.

2017–present: Solo

[edit]

In March 2017, Chino & Nacho announced that they would take a break as a duo. Nacho confessed that the desire to spend more time with his family was the main reason for the decision. "We were going to make more than 160 annual dates and there was a point where I began to regulate those trips so that they were less than 15 days, because I felt that I was abandoning my children, my wife".[11]

Nacho signed with the record label Universal Music Group, to continue his solo career. In addition, he signed an agreement as a music executive, to help in the search for new talents and to give them the opportunity to make themselves known.[12]

On 14 April 2017, the music video of his first single as a soloist, titled "Báilame", was made public,[13] reaching a million hits a day after its release.[14]

In 2019, he divorced his wife and started dating Melany Mille with whom he is expecting a child.
