He learned to break dance, picked up singing, and television acting. He had the opportunity to be part of an El Paso/Albuquerque musical group called the Borden Gang, where he starred in over 35 TV and radio commercials, with live performances promoting Borden’s dairy products. At the age of 12 he appeared twice on the International Latin TV show Sabado Gigante, and due to his young age, he was a stand-by for Showtime’s “The Mickey Mouse Club”. The young Pando continued his musical ventures singing English and Spanish pop music, with his instrumental cassettes, anywhere possible.
