Rene's trademark song was the hit Sube A Mi Motora. (Come Up Get On My Bike).
After leaving the band, Rene became a solo singer and made a few albums.
In 1987, he joined former bandmates Xavier Serbia and Johnny Lozada and formed a band named Proyecto M[?]. They lasted two years together, during which they became very popular in Puerto Rico and Venezuela, and acted in a few soap operas[?].
He married Leyda Barreto[?] in the 1990s and joined his former bandmates for a comeback tour named El Reencuentro. It was named like that because they couldn't use the name Menudo due to legal issues.

As an entertainer, Rene loves contact with his public and is always available to sign autographs, take pictures and talk with his fans about his period at Menudo.
