About Me

Wassup all! My name is Allan. I come from a big Puerto Rican family (there were 6 of us total) and I'm the baby in the family. I work out (been doing this since I moved here to California after HS). I love to play guitar (I own 3 electric guitars), keyboard and I sing my own compositions. I can be a total ham and not afraid to let it all hang out so to speak.

Most of all I'm proud of my Puerto Rican heritage; the food, music, culture and beautiful people.

Yo soy hijo de Borinquen
Y eso nadie va a cambiar
Y el día que yo me muera
En ti quiero descansar
Yo te adoro Puerto Rico!
Y eso nadie me lo va a quitar
