Barcelona, 20 May 1971.
Quique produced his first musical montages in 1982, by cutting cassette tape up and splicing it together again. 
At the age of 14, he found a job at a local radio station with a programme about popular Catalan culture, which he combined with piano and voice studies.

“mixes” and “megamixes” further. 

At 16 years, he recorded “Indiana”, his first “megamix”, and was hired as an announcer by Radio Minuto, where he began to focus on programmes specialising in “dance” music. Quique went on to present “Ponte a Top” on Cadena Top, which became one of the most successful radio shows in the country. It aired for five years.
In 1990 he began working with some of the major dance labels, including “Metropol Records”,  “Blanco y Negro”, “Sony Music”, “Max Music”, 
“Universal Music” and Vale Music, which continuing his work as an announcer on various radio stations around Spain.

Quique’s dedication and commitment to the creative, artistic and musical aspects of this unprecedented social phenomenon was rewarded by the spectacular achievement of sales of more than 15 million CDs from all the series of the show and the artists that have taken part.
