Solís began his musical career at the age of six and formed a duo with his brother, Joel Solís, known as Los Hermanitos Solís. In 1975, he and Joel formed the band Los Bukis along with Jorge Dávila and Carlos Enrique "Kike" González. The band's seventh studio album, Yo Te Necesito (1982), won the Grammy Award for Best Mexican-American Album at the 26th Annual Grammy Awards. The band experienced high commercial success with their studio albums Me Volví a Acordar de Ti (1987) and Y Para Siempre (1989), which respectively sold 1.35 million and 750,000 copies in Mexico. Their studio album Inalcanzable (1992) reached number two on the Billboard Top Latin Albums record chart, and was nominated for Pop Album of the Year at the 1994 Lo Nuestro Awards.
In 1996, Solís left Los Bukis in pursuit of a solo career. His first solo release, En Pleno Vuelo (1996), was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and was nominated for Pop Album of the Year at the 1997 Lo Nuestro Awards. His next studio album, Marco (1997), peaked at number three on the Top Latin Albums and was certified gold in the United States. He released his third studio album, Trozos de Mi Alma (1999), consisting of re-recordings of songs Solís wrote for other artists, and became his first number-one entry on the Top Latin Albums. His fourth studio album, Más de Mi Alma (2001), was nominated for Best Male Pop Vocal Album at the 3rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards.
