About Me

From french mother and spanish father since he was a child he has felt passion for music,being specially keen on groups like Toto,Journey,Survivor. His first introduction in and was with "Refuge" in 1992.One year later he left the band together with the bass player to join the group Banam Banam with whom he was for about one year,cooperating in new compositions and recording,sharing all this with singing lessons in the music conservatory. At the end of 1993 he started the band "D.O.N.T" (Days of no trust) with the most genuine A.O.R sound,playing his own compositions and other artists versions like Eddie Money,Rick Springfield,Benny Mardones and gropus like Survivor,Loverboy,cheap trick,Journey,etc... touring in Spain for 2 years. At the end of 1995 he moved from Getxo (north of Spain) to Madrid,where he went on with his singing lessons and started is solo career performing several shows. He was also involved in other projects,one of them having international projection but discrepancies with the american label prevented it from getting to a happy end. He worked as a background vocalist in a different projects with other artists and making jingles. Returning his solo career in 1999 where he worked elbow to elbow with the producer and co-founder of the rock band "Casablanca" who helped him to prepare his first solo record.It was a very long project since it took more than 2 years to be ready,a record wich had great musicians,such as working as a background vocalist with Indigo.

In 2005 Pachi Escolano (his former producer) offered him to join his band "Casablanca" to realease their 5th album,Indigo egreed and he became the new lead vocalist of the band.They worked together in new compositions.They realeased a cd with the band greatest hits called " 20 years and 1 day" with old songs of the early years of the band together with a new one"mamut" of their late period allready with Inigo"Indigo" as the lead vocalist. After almost 2 years of rehearsals,recording sessions and tours across Spain he left the band in august 2006,with "Legends Of Rock Festival" he said his definitive goodbye to the band.
