He also has appeared as a songwriter for Gloria Estefan, Enrique Iglesias, Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, Mandy Moore and other popular music artists.

Secada arrived with his parents in the United States at the age of nine. While attending school, his family managed a coffee shop. It wasn't until well into his teens that Secada discovered his gift for music. Growing up in the culturally diverse city of Miami, Secada was exposed to many different sounds. Although salsa, merengue and tropical rhythms filled Miami's radio airways, Secada developed a passion for R&B and pop music. Secada was inspired by musical moguls such as Barry Manilow, Marvin Gaye, Billy Joel, Elton John and Stevie Wonder. Secada's music is an eclectic fusion of all these sounds. His music includes fusions of funk, soul and undertones of Latin percussion...
