Early career

Paez was born in Rosario, Santa Fe Province; his real name, Rodolfo Paez, is like his father. People used the term "rodolfito" (in Spanish, an affectionate form of "Rodolfo") to distinguish him from his father when he was a child. This nickname became just "Fito," with the passage of time, and that is where his stage name came from.

He formed Staff, his first band, when he was 13. Rubén Goldn and Jorge Llonch performed in El Banquete in 1977. The following year, he began performing alone in pubs.

Straight out of high school, he began touring with several bands and shortly after that, he released Del '63, his first solo album, which was released in 1984. It was first in his hometown town but it later attracted media attention in Buenos Aires. The recording was put together with the support of some of Argentina's most popular musicians, including Daniel Wirtz, Fabián Gallardo, Tweety González, and Paul Dourge. The disc earned him critical acclaim as a songwriter and aided in the development of future projects, including a 1985 album called Giros. Luis Alberto Spinetta's demo earned him his praise, as well as a business – Paez' next album, 1986's La La La La La was a duet with Spinetta. With a tour that brought the album all the way to Santiago, Chile, the pair embraced it. He appeared at the Thousand Days of Democracy festival the same year.

Ciudad de Pobres Corazones, his 1987 album, marked a turbulent, political turn for his art. It was dedicated to his uncle and grandmother, who were assassinated in Rosario. Páez was among the first people to experience production with Ey!, which was released in 1988. Many musicians with whom he had collaborated before were showcased in New York City and Havana.

Tercer Mundo, a 1990 publication, explored Latin American cultural influences and the harsh world of poverty and exploitation. It was also highly acclaimed, but it was Páez's 1992 album El Amor Después del Amor that marked the pinnacle of his commercial success. The album has more than 750,000 copies, and when Páez visited to promote it, he discovered himself playing to sold-out shows for 40,000 viewers. He appeared at a benefit concert for UNICEF, which raised more than $420,000 shortly after the album's debut.

Páez debuted as a producer on Sandra Mihanovich and Celeste Carballo's album Mujer contra mujer in 1990.

Despite having many hit songs like "Mariposa Tecknicolor" and "Tema de Piluso," as well as a companion album, Circo Beat Brazil, which featured Brazilian remixes of its hits, Circo Beat Brazil had a disappointing number of copies. Several other projects were completed in the late 1990s, including a live album, Euforia, and 1998's Sabina & Páez: Enemigos Intimos, with Joaqun Sabina. Abre, a year-old record that was well-recorded, produced album from 1999. At the first annual Latin Grammy Awards in fall 2000, he also won two Grammy Awards. Cecilia Roth, an Argentine actress, worked with him for many years; the couple adopted a child in 1999.

Páez's 2003 album Naturaleza sangre marked a return to his musical roots, with appearances from Charly Garca, Luis Alberto Spinetta, and Brazilian artist Rita Lee on the previously unveiled version of "Ojos Rojos." Páez was given an escopetarra (a decommissioned AK-47 converted into a guitar) by Colombian musician and peace activist César López in honor of his music in 2006.

At the 2007 Latin Grammy Awards for Best Rock Solo Vocal Album, El mundo cabe en una canción. In 2008, Páez recorded: No si es Baires o Madrid, Madrid. Pablo Milanés, Joaqun Sabina, and Ariel Rot were among the invited performers to participate. He released Confiá in 2010. In December 2011, he released Canciones para áliens, a compilation of songs performed by Páez himself. This album was on display at la Sala Nezahualcoyolt de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. These "songs for the aliens" were sent to space by electromagnetic waves through the Music to Space project in January 2012. Páez was named with the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021.
