He got involved in music in the early 1980s, making his debut in a high school band called Apocalipsis, and later played along with Proceso Entrópico. In 1984 Bunbury joined a group called Zumo de Vidrio, debuting as a lead vocalist. After adopting the nickname of Bunbury, taken from an Oscar Wilde novel, the musician teamed up with Héroes del Silencio, becoming a major number in the Spanish rock scene.

The band eventually broke up in 1996 and Bunbury started his solo career in 1997 with a techno album, Radical Sonora with his new band: Copi (piano), del Moran (bass), Ramón Gacias (drums) and former Héroes del Silencio guitarrist Alan Boguslavsky.

Recognized by his wish to always reinvent himself, Bunbury released in 1999 the album Pequeño, which sounded much different than anything he did before. His band also suffered changes, Boguslavsky was replaced by Rafa Domínguez, and the new faces, Ana Belén Estaje (violin), Luis Miguel Romero (percussion), Javier Iñigo, Javier García Vega & Antonio Ríos in the metal instruments.

This band was known as the "Huracán Ambulante" ("Rambling Hurricane") and recorded with Bunbury the rest of his solo discography, (except Antonio Ríos).

In 2005, after 8 years together, Bunbury dissolved the band and declared that will record a new album in 2006 only with his voice and a piano. Nevertheless, in early 2006 he recorded an album with spanish artist Nacho Vegas by the name of El tiempo de las cerezas.

His old band, Héroes del Silencio, reunited in 2007 for a short tour which visited Latin America, United States and Spain.

Ha pasado el tiempo
Tengo casa al otro lado del mar
Pero algunos momentos
Serán difícil de olvidar
La estación del silencio
Junto a algún que otro bar
La ruta de los sueños
Que parece imposible alcanzar

No, no, no, negativo no, no, no, definitivo
No, no, no, negativo
No, no, no, decididamente,
Decisivamente, definitivamente no

Las noches desvelado, drogas consumidas
Las mujeres que me acompañaron
Así el dinero gastamos, guitarras compramos
Canciones que tanto cantamos
No la cambio por otra
Aunque no sea gran cosa
No, no, no, negativo no, no, no, definitivo
No, no, no, negativo
No, no, no, decididamente
Decisivamente, definitivamente no
Programas de cachi en la radio

Menos quince y disco actualidad
Discos de Elvis y bowie rallados
Interferencias, la "muestra" y además
Las noches del b.v. 80
Escapando a tocar
A todos quiero gritar
A todos quiero gritar
No la cambio por otra
Aunque no sea gran cosa

No, no, no, negativo no, no, no, definitivo
No, no, no, negativo
No, no, no, decididamente
Decisivamente, definitivamente no
Definitivamente

Decididamente
Definitivamente
