José Roberto Pulido Jr., known professionally as Bobby Pulido, is an American singer, songwriter, guitarist, and actor. He is acclaimed for pioneering the dissemination of Tejano music to a youthful audience, subsequently ascending as a teen idol and becoming one of the most influential Tejano recording artists among Mexican-American teenagers.
In 1995, Pulido debuted on the music scene as the frontman of his eponymous band. During the same year, he forged a recording contract with EMI Latin and released his debut album, Desvelado. It peaked at number nine on the United States Billboard Top Latin Albums chart and at number three on the US Billboard Regional Mexican Albums chart. The Recording Industry Association of America certified the album platinum, denoting shipments of 100,000 units. The titular track propelled Pulido into a celebrated Tejano singer, albeit drawing criticism from veteran musicians who opined that his success in the genre derived from the preexisting musical impact of his father, Roberto Pulido.
