Puerto Rican singer/songwriter Ignacio Peña was born in Rio Piedras and raised in Guaynabo and Santurce with a very strict upbringing. Influenced by major rock numbers from the early '80s, the young soccer enthusiast traded football for music even when his parents weren't happy about his choice. Ignacio Peña got his first guitar in 1987, making his debut as a composer with a song titled "Don't Let Me Fall."
