In 2012, he worked on the composition and production of 9 songs from the Wisin & Yandel album Líderes. One of the songs was "Algo Me Gusta de Ti".[5]

Jedi released his first single in 2016, an electronic and reggaeton song titled "Dale Hasta Abajo" featuring singer-songwriter Joey Montana. The following year, he achieved recognition with the song "Ahora Dice", a song that featured the voices of J Balvin, Ozuna and Arcángel. "Ahora Dice" reached number seven on the Hot Latin Songs chart. The music video for the song has received more than 1 billion views on YouTube. The remix version included the participation of Cardi B.[6]

He has worked as a producer on songs such as Daddy Yankee's "La Rompe Corazones" with Ozuna; "Caile" by Zion, De la Ghetto, Bryant Myers and Bad Bunny; "Vaivén" by Daddy Yankee, "La Fórmula" by De la Ghetto, Daddy Yankee, Ozuna, "Vaina Loca" by Ozuna and Manuel Turizo, among others.[7]

In addition, he was the producer of all the songs on Anuel's album Real Hasta la Muerte along with Gaby Music and Frabián Elí. In collaboration with Gaby Music, he has supported the career of Lunay, who published his first studio album, Épico, months after his debut.[8]

In March 2021, along with Gaby Music, Jedi launched La Familia Records. La Familia (meaning the Family) will be home to Lunay as well as newly signed Puerto Rican acts Chanell and Juliito, as well as producers Dímelo Ninow and Dulce como Candy.
