Highlights of recent seasons include his New York City Opera debut in performances of Carmen, Cendrillon, Madama Butterfly, and Tosca and debuts with the Rochester Philharmonic, Long Island Symphony Orchestra, and Cleveland Orchestra. He began his professional career as one of the youngest members to participate in the San Francisco Opera's Merola Program, where he impressed audiences with performances in Così fan tutte and Don Giovanni.

Equally accomplished on the recital stage, Picón made his Schwabacher Debut Recital in “Latin Lovers: Music from South America and Cuba” presented by the San Francisco Opera. He has appeared with many leading music festivals and was recently part of the Emmy Award-winning production of Madama Butterfly for New York City Opera's “Live from Lincoln Center.” Picón is a graduate of the University of North Texas and the Curtis Institute of Music and is an adjunct professor of voice at Oklahoma City University.
