Born in Río Piedras, Puerto Rico, and raised in the United States,[2] Nieves began his career while participating in Orquesta Cimarron, a New York-based group.[2] In 1977, he teamed up with singer Héctor Lavoe and his Orchestra and joined the Conjunto Clasico.[3] Later, Nieves started his solo career in 1986, setting himself apart by singing salsa in English.[2] He is known for his hits such as "El Amor Más Bonito", "Sonámbulo", and the English-salsa hit, "I Like It Like That" (1996).[4] Hits from the album Fabricando Fantasias included "Fabricando Fantasias" and "Ya No Queda Nada" with La India, Nicky Jam, and K-Mil. He attended Xaverian High School in Brooklyn, New York, where he played in a Spanish-language band named Makondo. Though he left before graduating, he was given an honorary diploma in 1994.

In 2007, he released Canciones Clasicas De Marco Antonio Solís, a tribute to Mexican singer, Marco Antonio Solís.[6]
