About Me

I was born January 21, 1983. I started playing piano at seven and finally fed up my dad with getting me a guitar on my 12th birthday. Ever since, I've been playing in bands. I recorded my first EP in 1999 with punk-hardcore band Animo, then on to do my first album with them in Del Cielito Records studio for the indie label Ugly Records in 2000. In 2001 I formed a band that played my own songs called "Pride" in which I sang and played guitar, with them I recorded that track you see up there at Estudios Aloe. At the same time I was hired by a band called Modista to do keyboards. With them I recorded their second album at Estudios Supergaucho and appeared in their video for MTV featuring a song called "Te extraño", a cut from their first CD "Se viste de pop". I signed a record deal with producer Alejandro Franco (Enanitos Verdes) in 2002, but several problems, including the economy collapse in late 2001 and very strong personal and artistic differences, resulted in the band splitting up and me deciding to get out of the music scene and dedicate myself to my family.Right now I'm playing with my band LEIPZIG and recording our first album.

So I fulfilled my dream of seeing Stone Temple Pilots live on wednesday! I may have gotten a little too excited because I sprained my wrist so bad that the doctor at the venue said my arm was broken. ...

Long time, no see

It's been long since I posted anything. Part of the reason is that I haven't been having much time. Another part of it is that I didn't know how to speak my mind without making a mess. There's a big p...

The saddest eyes are staring back at me

I went to get my pay cheque today. One of the smallest I've had in a while. Yet I was glad that I was going to get my work's worth; so when this girl who seemed like she was around 11 with anothe...

Sneeze!

Overdue

I promised 15-year-old Harris from North Carolina two weeks ago that we'd do videos for covers of "Like A Stone" that night. I owe him that. I'll give him another Cornell cover as compensation... they...
