Born in Canary Islands, Spain (Gran Canaria 1979). At age of 20 I went to Madrid to study music learning from the beginning knowledge of harmony, theory, guitar...... in couple of schools. In the beginning I was influenced by heavy and rock music and all my studies have been focused in that kind of music. In the last school I meet Sacri Delfino, who teach me basic knowledges of jazz with harmony, and improvisation. He prepared me to the auditions for the music schools in London, and introduced me in the Jazz world where I’m involved deeply actually. During this period I have been playing with some rock bands, funk, even with DJ playing house music with live band and teaching in some schools of music. After came to London I enrolled at Middlesex University studying Jazz music where I’m still studying with people like Nikki Iles, Mike Outram, Stuart Hall, Chris Batchelor...... Actually I’m finishing my studies and planning my next step.
