International goals

Outside football

[edit | edit source]

Puch has an inherited musical side since both his grandfather, Orlando Cortez, and his mother, Blanca Cortez were musicians and singers. His grandfather was a guitar player and got a band called Orquesta de Ñatito Cortez and his mother competed in the Chilean TV program Festival de la una (es) as a singer.[16] At the same time he was a footballer, Puch carried out a musical career. He used the stage name Comando to make music with a blend of reggaeton, rapping and trap.[17]

Since his retirement from football, he works in his musical studio, The Magic Studio, and has taken the stage name of Edesound, adding elements of Mexican corrido to his songs, what he names corrido tumbado.[16]
