He has studied with Flamenco masters PEDRO CORTEZ, CHUSCALES and ERNIE CHAVARRIA (former pianist of JAMES BROWN, TITO PUENTE, NATALIE COLE). GUSTAVO has had the opportunity to have some of his songs produced by Producer/Pianist JOEY NAVARRO (GREG ADAMS, TIERRA, SISTER SLEDGE), featuring OSKAR CARTAYA on bass (SPYRO GYRA, JENNIFER LOPEZ, CELIA CRUZ) and TAL BERGMAN on drums (BILLY IDOL, ROD STEWART). Music has taken him to places like CUBA, COLOMBIA, ECUADOR, all troughout USA, and PUERTO RICO (Where he was on the road touring with OSUNLADE's band).
