As a child, Caloncho lived in Guadalajara where his favorite activity was playing the drums, until he later decided to experiment with melody. At the same time, he started playing the guitar that his grandfather had left for him years before, and soon learned to play songs from artists such as Bob Marley and Sublime.
Based on his own confession, Caloncho was the name his grandfather and step-sister, Angélica, used to call him when he was very little and since the name never annoyed him, he decided to use it as his musical stage name.
His first EP "Homeotermo" was recorded in 2011, and soon after, he started working with músician Siddhartha (a former-teacher and friend). He asked him to be his producer and Siddhartha agreed, saying about him: "Caloncho is a newly born musician, he is being newly discovered, both by himself and by those around him. He sent me a sample of his music and I immediately felt it was a musical obligation to help extract the sweet juice from his fruitful melodies." (Caloncho's website).
Caloncho then released his second EP, titled "Fruta" (Fruit), in September 2013. This production mixes his unique musical style with rhythms and stories of Mexican national folk, beaches, and forest rhythms, as well as urban sounds. All these sounds are used to retell different situations from his own life.
"We experimented a lot during the creation of the EP. We used organic sounds and objects that are not considered musical instruments, such as water, fruit, seeds, lighters, etc. I love it and I want to hear it", he said.
Calancho has admitted that thanks to music, he has been able to live his life through all his senses. Music has also allowed him to feel completely connected with his family. "My dad would write and play songs for us, and he would invite us to build on them, as a way to be in communion with each other," he's said.
In 2015 he published the LP, "Fruta Vol. II" (Fruit Vol. II), a production worked with certain arrangements.
He was nominated for the Latin Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dime por favor si a ti te pasa igual
Mi corazón atómico
En cuenta regresiva está
Parece que perdí el control
Y a mí ya no, ya no me importa nada
Uh uh uh
Acaricia mi alma, suaviza mi ser
Esteriliza mi sangre y purifica el amor
Acaricia mi alma, suaviza mi ser
Esteriliza mi sangre y purifica el amor
(Uh uh uh) purifica el amor
(Uh uh, uh uh)
Parece que perdí el control
Y a mí ya no, ya no me importa nada
Dime si me estoy volviendo loco
Dime por favor si a ti te pasa igual
Mi corazón atómico
En cuenta regresiva está
Parece que perdí el control
Y a mí ya no, ya no me importa nada
Uh uh uh
Acaricia mi alma, suaviza mi ser
Esteriliza mi sangre y purifica el amor
Acaricia mi alma, suaviza mi ser
Esteriliza mi sangre y purifica el amor
Purifica el amor
The song "Corazón Atómico" by Caloncho talks about going through a phase in life where everything seems to be unsure and unstable. The lyrics start with the singer asking if he is going crazy, as he feels like he is losing control. He then asks if the same is happening to the person he is singing to. The title of the song, "Corazón Atómico," directly translates to "Atomic Heart," which may signify the heart as a ticking time bomb or perhaps a highly reactive force.
The lyrics suggest that the singer's heart is in countdown mode, indicating that something significant is going to happen soon. The repetition of the phrase "parece que perdí el control” (it seems like I lost control) emphasizes the feelings of uncertainty and unpredictability that the singer is experiencing. The chorus presents a different interpretation altogether, where the singer asks the other person to touch his soul, soften his being, sterilize his blood, and purify love. This phrase suggests that the singer is seeking enlightenment or salvation of sorts, using spiritual cleansing as a metaphor for this.
Overall, the song "Corazón Atómico" explores the feelings of instability and uncertainty that many people experience at some point in their lives. It highlights the importance of finding ways to cope with these feelings and showing vulnerability in asking for help, whether it be through spiritual or other means.
