Drexler released his first album, La Luz Que Sabe Robar, in 1992, the same year he earned a doctorate from the University of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay.  His albums have received a combined total of seven Grammy and Latin Grammy Award nominations, and he's won two Spanish Music Prizes.  He became the first Uruguayan to win an Academy Award with a Best Original Song Oscar for 'Al Otro Lado del Río,' from the internationally acclaimed film The Motorcycle Diaries.
