When he was younger, his father started calling him Juanes, rather than Juan, a contraction of his two first names Juan and Esteban. As his friends grew to know him by this name, he chose to keep it for his musical career, which started when he, Andrés García, Fernando "Toby" Tobón and José David Lopera, formed the rock band Ekhymosis in 1988.

His politically-minded solo debut Fijate Bien (Take a good look) (2000) after Ekhymosis disbanded, earned him three Latin Grammys. The follow-up, Un Día Normal (A Normal Day) produced by Gustavo Santaolalla (2002), was a platinum mega-hit in Latin America and dominated that year's Latin Grammys, where he was nominated for and won five awards including Song of the Year and Album of the Year.

In the 2005 Latin Grammys, Juanes won three additional awards to his nine previous Grammy awards. He took the award for Best Rock Song for Nada Valgo Sin Tu Amor (I'm Worthless Without Your Love), Best Rock Solo Album for Mi Sangre (My Blood) and Best Music Video for Volverte a Ver (To see you again).

His most recent album, La Vida Es Un Ratico (Life is a little moment), was released in November 2007 and won him 3 awards at the 2008 Latin Grammy awards. Hit singles from this album include Me Enamora (You make me fall in love) and Tres (Three).

Duérmete pronto mi amor
Que la noche ya llegó

Y cierra tus ojos que yo
De tus sueños cuidaré

Siempre a tu lado estaré
Y tu guardián yo seré

Toda la vida

Si un día te sientes mal
Yo de bien te llenaré

Y aunque muy lejos tú estés
Yo a tu sombra cuidaré

Siempre a tu lado estaré
Y tu guardián yo seré
Toda la vida
Esta noche
Te prometo que no vendrán
Ni dragones ni fantasmas a molestar

Y en la puerta de tus sueños yo voy a estar
Hasta que tus ojos vuelvan a abrir

Duérmete mi amor sueña con mi voz
Duérmete mi amor hasta que salga el sol
Duérmete mi amor sueña con mi voz
Duérmete mi amor que aquí estaré yo

Esta noche
Te prometo que no vendrán
Ni dragones ni fantasmas a molestar

Y en la puerta de tus sueños yo voy a estar
Hasta que tus ojos vuelvan a abrir

Duérmete mi amor sueña con mi voz
Duérmete mi amor hasta que salga el sol

Duérmete mi amor sueña con mi voz
Duérmete mi amor que aquí estaré yo
