He has also performed with Ingco Crew, a prominent Dominican reggaeton group, and Grupo Aguakate, another merengue tipico group.

Krisspy got his start as a musician in Geovanny Polanco's group but later started his own group as lead vocalist. He is known for his outrageous performance style, and recently appeared as an actor in the film "Un Macho de Mujer".
