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.

Caloncho Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Qué lindo brillo tienen tus hombros
Quisiera llevarte al mar
Y nunca regresar a la ciudad
Y poder disfrutar del día siempre
Echados al sol
Sin tu bañador
Y nunca regresar a la ciudad
Qué rico hueles a tropical
Pepino con chile y sal de mar
Puedo ver un destello de arena
Pegado a tu color tostado
Que brilla al reflejar el sol
Quisiera navegar cual sudor
Tu piel morena
Rumbo a hacerme vapor
Echados al sol
Sin tu bañador
Y echarnos al sol
Y echarnos al sol
Sin tu bañador
Y echarnos al sol
Y poder disfrutar del día siempre
Echados al sol
Sin tu bañador
Sin tu bañador
Y nunca regresar a la ciudad
In Caloncho's song "Palmar," the singer describes their admiration for a person with big eyes and shiny shoulders. They express a desire to take this person to the beach and never return to the city. The singer emphasizes their desire to enjoy the day always, specifically by lying in the sun without their bathing suit. They describe the person's scent as tropical and mention the reflection of the sun on their skin. The singer then expresses their desire to navigate along the person's tan skin, creating steam or vapor. The singer concludes by restating their desire to always enjoy the day while lying in the sun and never return to the city.
The lyrics of "Palmar" convey ideas of escape, desire, and relaxation. The singer longs to escape the hectic city and spend their days under the sun at the beach.

Morena, que grandes ojos
Que lindo brillo tienen tus hombros
Quisiera llevarte al mar
Y nunca regresar a la ciudad
Y poder disfrutar del día siempre
Echados al sol, sin tu bañador
