Background
Oscar Alfonso Castro Valenzuela, better known as Caloncho, was born on December 20, 1986, in the city of Obregon, Sonora. From a very young age he alternated his residence between Guadalajara and Ciudad Obregón, his favorite activity for some years was to play the drums, until he decided to experiment with the melody. Similarly, he took the guitar that his grandfather had given him years ago and learned several songs he liked from artists such as Bob Marley, Sublime, among other influences. As he himself confessed, Caloncho was the name by which he called his paternal grandfather from an early age and never bothered him, so he decided to take him as a stage name.
Education

Career
He recorded his first EP called Homeotermo in 2011, and subsequently works with Siddharta (former teacher and friend) to be his producer and this was what he answered - Caloncho, a born musician of newly discovered talent, both for him and for those around him. He sent me a model and I instantly felt that it was a musical obligation to extract the juice from its fructose melody.- Caloncho confesses that, thanks to music, he has lived the conception of the senses and, likewise, has known how to feel completely connected to his family. -My dad made us songs and invited us to build them, by way of living together- he explained.
