He initially established a significant following as a social media personality and video creator. His videos garnered millions of views throughout the mid-2010s, building a substantial online audience that later supported his entry into the music industry. This early career in digital content creation provided a foundation for his subsequent musical endeavors.
Pantoja officially embarked on his music career under the alias JD Pantoja in July 2017 with the release of his debut single, “Dile Mentiras.” His musical style incorporates electronically laced reggaeton and Latin pop. Subsequent releases in 2018, including “Me Fascina,” “No Ha Podido,” and “Tu Novio Reclama,” further solidified his presence in the genre.

His debut full-length mixtape, “Tiempos,” was released in March 2021.
