Early life and career Ledezma was born in Sinaloa, Mexico, and grew up in Coyotitán, Sinaloa. Before pursuing a career in music, he aspired to be a professional baseball player. His interest in baseball led him to travel to Mazatlán, Sinaloa, a city known for its prominent banda music scene. During this period, he acquired the nickname "El Coyote." In 1989, Ledezma debuted in Banda El Limón, leaving aside his baseball dreams. As music became his priority, his vocal style and distinctive voice helped establish him as a banda vocalist. Ledezma subsequently performed with several prominent banda groups, including Banda La Costeña de Ramón López Alvarado, La Original Banda El Limón de Salvador Lizárraga, and Banda Los Recoditos. He recorded multiple albums as a vocalist with these groups.
With La Original Banda El Limón, Ledezma recorded the album Me Lo Contaron Ayer, which was released in 1997. He also recorded an album with Banda Los Recoditos for Musart Records in 1997. The album was not released at the time; it was later issued in 2004 under the title Mis Corridos Escondidos. Banda Los Recoditos had previously re-recorded the same songs with another vocalist and released them in 1997 on the album El Nylon. In December 1997, Ledezma began his solo career with the release of his debut album, Aquí Me Quedaré, through EMI Televisa Music. His career produced several popular recordings, including "Piquites de Hormiga," "Árboles de la Barranca," "Me Dicen El Coyote," "Sufro," "Cuando Regreso a Tus Brazos," "Amor Pajarito," "Te Soñé," "Para Impresionarte," "Linda Doctora," "Besitos en el Cuello," and "Y Si Te Robo."
