In 1999, he was asked by a friend to record a song, which was meant for fun but was followed by a contract with EMI.[1] "La Chica Marita" was produced by Tony Catania[2] and was also released on the soundtrack of the movie Flawless with Robert De Niro. Schenkenberg described the work on the song and video as good experience, but he remained more interested in acting.[3]
