Career

edit

He started out as an opera singer and later sang Italo disco covers.

In 1985, he released his first single, Let's Go to Sitges, under Max Music, which became a commercial success. Subsequently, two more singles were released in 1986, Bambina and Playboy, followed by the release of his debut album, Like a Star. The album contains eight songs, including two ballads and a new version of Bambina, as well as the commercially successful singles Bye Bye Mi Amor and I Don't Wanna Lose You.

In 1988, he released his second album, Lady, which included the singles Never Say You Love Me and the title track, Lady. His singles are part of the compilation series Max Mix and were also used in the follow-up series. Max Mix 2 includes the single Let's Go to Sitges, Max Mix 3 includes the single Bambina, Max Mix 4 includes the single Playboy, Max Mix 5 includes the singles Bye Bye Mi Amor and I Don't Wanna Lose You, and Max Mix 6 includes the single Never Say You Love Me.

In 1990, Lyme left Max Music and joined the label Blanco y Negro, which at the time was a competitortor Max Music. Afterwards, he released the single Perestroika. However, this single became less of a commercially successful single than his previous singles. This led to the slow end of Lyme's singing career.

Despite the shrinking of his singing career, he now owns a recording studio. He produces and writes music for other artists under various pseudonyms. He also writes songs for TV commercials for companies such as Coca-Cola and Chupa Chups.[2] A compilation of his singles was released by Sony Music in 2004.
