Biography
Biography
José Eulogio Hernández, better known by his stage name El Potro de Sinaloa, is a regional Mexican singer, specializing in the styles of banda and Pacific norteño.
Both of his brothers, Ignacio and Tomas, had careers as musicians in Mexico. Fellow regional Mexican artist Larry Hernández is his distant cousin. Early in his career, he adopted his stage name (which means "the colt of Sinaloa"), and became a popular performer throughout the country. In 1996, he signed with Sony Records; he later recorded for EMI and then Lideres, a Universal Records subsidiary. In 2007, he was nominated for a Grammy award.
