His mother is the well-known Peruvian actress and singer Maria Regina Alcover Ureta, and his father was the late Peruvian composer and singer Javier Oscar Florencio Zignago Vinas, known in the musical world as Joe Danova.

A year and a half later he returned to Lima and one of his songs classified for the Peruvian version of the Festival OTI 1989. He managed to capture the attention of the press, being the most publicized artist at the event. It was there that Discos Independents proposed recording his first album. At the beginning of 1990 his first production hit the national record market with the title Gian Marco, under the musical direction of Pepe Ortega. In 1992 he recorded his second long play production with the title, Personal, produced in Santiago, Chile by Pepe Ortega. From this recording the songs Te Extranare (I will miss you) and Dame un Beso (Give Me a Kiss) made the charts that year. In September 1993 he won first place in the national version of the Festival OTI, and gained the right to represent Peru in the XXII edition of the International Festival OTI with his song Volvamos a Empezar (Let's Start Over). The International Festival took place in Valencia, Spain. I In 2003 he received the Artista Revelacion Latino (Emmerging Latin Artist) prize in the Musical Arts Awards of the Sociedad General de Autores y Editores de Espana (SGAE) (Spanish General Society of Authors and Editors).

Later came the album Resucitar (Resurrection) (2004), a much more organic album that, as he says, doesn't sing as much about lost love as the previous one, it's a more positive album. This disc had unbelievable success, which brought him a Latin Grammy in 2005. Several singles sprang from this album: Resucitar (Resurrection), Sin querer (By Accident), Gota de lluvia (A Drop of Rain), Despues de mi (After Me), Lejos de ti (Far from You), and Soy (I Am).n the mid to late 1990s he came back with other successful productions. He began to dedicate himself to composing songs, and he was called to conduct one of the most popular game shows, Campaneando, together with Bruno Pinasco. Conducting this program was crucial in gaining the recognition of the wider Peruvian public.

His television appearance combined with a prolific period of musical activity. He composed and recorded the discs, Entre la arena y la luna' (Between the Sand and the Moon) (1994), Senora, cuenteme (Lady, Tell Me) (1994) and Al quinto dia (On the Fifth Day) (1997). His fourth album, Senora, cuenteme, is a tribute to cancion criolla in which he affirms with his music the appreciation that he has for the feeling of native peoples like those in Peru.
