His songwriting, a skill he honed to perfection, and his ability to convey deep emotions through his lyrics and vocals were further showcased in the band’s later albums, including “Selfish Machines,” “Collide with the Sky,” and “Misadventures.”

Fuentes’ career has been enriched by numerous collaborations with other artists, significantly contributing to his musical evolution.
