Coming from a lower middle class family, he is the nephew of the Peruvian actor and comedian Carlos Alcántara, with whom he works on his projects. He studied the Faculty of Communications from which he dropped out. He began his artistic career at the age of ten in 2000, participating in the Peruvian children's program María Pía y Timoteo as part of the children's staff.
