In 1984, when he was three years old, his parents noticed his talent for music and gave him a guitar for Christmas. The following year, he competed in a television program on ATC.

Pereyra recorded his first album in 1998 called Amaneciendo (Dawning), an album containing 13 songs mixing zambas, carnavalitos, waltzes, ballads and chacareras. His first hit was called "Soy un inconsciente" (I'm reckless); this single eventually went quadruple platinum. In 1999, he performed a recital in Buenos Aires at the Teatro Opera.

In March 2000, his second album was released: Recordándote (Remembering You), including the song "Sólo le pido a Dios" (I only ask of God) and songs written by himself. The record was at the top of the national ranking for three consecutive weeks. One year later, he was chosen to sing the Argentine National Anthem during the farewell match tribute to Diego Maradona.

He has sung duets with artists such as Rodrigo Bueno, Soledad Pastorutti and Alejandro Lerner. In June 2002, Pereyra released his third album entitled Soy Tuyo (I'm yours) a disc that contains a bolero and tango influence.
