There Is Still So Much More to Learn

About Me

I was born in Miami, Florida on Sept. 20th 1977. My parents are both cuban imigrants who found each other in the South Florida area. Although I am the only proffesional musician in my immediate family, My folks have always been music lovers, so music has always been a part of my life. I started playing Guitar at age 8, and switched over to Bass Guitar at 13. At 18 I picked up the Upright bass. Most of my teen years were spent playing Rock and Heavy Metal, as well as some Jazz and Fusion in my early college years. In my early 20's I spent 3 years living and giging in Spain. In 2003 I moved to NYC to become the best musician I can be !!! ............................................................ ..................Over the years I've performed and/or recorded with the following artists/musicians: .....Ira Sullivan, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Nicole Yarling, Dolph and Tony Castallano, V-Loop Trio, Martin Bejerano, Mike Orta, Jerry Gonzalez, Diego "El Cigala", Bebo Valdes, Bobby Martinez, Gary Campbell, Bob Sands, Horacio Icasto, Antonio Serrano, Edwin Berg, Joan Manuel Serrat, Bobby Sanabria, The Rodriguez Brothers, Braulio, Jeremy Pelt, Sparlha Swa, Greg Murphy, Donny McCaslin, Joel Frahm, Hector Martignon, Manny Duran, and many more....................................
