Early life and career
Marco Antonio Solís began performing at age six as part of "Los Hermanitos Solís" with his cousin, Joel Solís.{{Cite web |title=Los Bukis Biography, Songs, & Albums |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/los-bukis-mn0000833631/biography |access-date=2023-08-10 |website=AllMusic |language=en}} In the mid-1970s he formed "Los Bukis" with whom he achieved success in Mexico, Central America, South America, and the United States. As lead singer and chief songwriter of Los Bukis, Solís became known in the industry for outside writing and producing for popular singers such as Marisela and Rocío Dúrcal. In 1995, after almost 20 years of working with the group, his group members informed him that they wanted to make their own group, Los Mismos, without him. Due to internal conflicts in the group, he agreed. This event is discussed in more detail by Los Bukis members in the 2022 "El Buki" documentary available on Amazon Prime Video. This led him to pursue a solo career.{{citation needed|date= November 2022}}
