Musical career

Didier Hernández was chosen as a member of Menudo in 1995; one year later, Edgardo Díaz had sold the band's original name and renamed it MDO. Bandmates Were Abel Talamantez, Alexis Grullon, Edgar Antonio Galindo and Pablo Portillo as bandmates, among others.

During his seven years as a member of MDO, Hernández became a teen idol in Puerto Rico, and, perhaps to a lesser extent, across Latin America and visited Europe and Asia a total of 39 Countries around the world becoming known Artist among teenage Hispanic females in the United States. Hernández recorded a total of seven CDs during this period, including Tiempo de Amar ("Time to Fall in Love"), MDO, Un Poco Mas ("A Little More"), Subir Al Cielo (which was also recorded in English as Little Piece of Heaven), and a "greatest hits" CD.

By 2001, MDO was going through some managerial problems. Grullon left the group without any previous signs of trouble. MDO continued until Feb 2003 and Díaz decided to take a recess with Menudo/MDO until 2005. One of Hernandez's last concerts as a member of MDO was in Phoenix, Arizona, alongside Pilar Montenegro and Eduardo Verastegui. He has performed in stages with many Artists including Jacie Velazquez, Destiny's Child, Enrique Iglesias, Son By Four, Olga Tañón, Joey McIntyre between many others.
