From Reserve-Team Football to a Viral Hit
Before music, Rover pursued professional football with Gimnasia y Esgrima de Mendoza's reserve and first-division squads, growing up as the son of a street vendor and a homemaker. When the football path stalled, he considered leaving sports for a job at a hardware store.
His breakthrough came when a 15-second preview of the song 'Rompe,' posted to TikTok with only about 1,500 followers, went viral and racked up millions of views before the full track even existed. He finished the song from home with borrowed equipment, and it reached 10 million streams without a professional studio, video, or label behind it. He went on to sign with Warner Music and followed up with the hit 'Ahí, ahí,' now performing five or more shows a week.
