Originally from Spain, I came to England in the summer of 1996 and what was going to be 3 months to study the English language ended up as 11 years and still counting!. A bit of a late starter, I picked up the guitar when 22 years old, and later, while living in England I undertook BTEC and HND courses in popular music whilst falling in love with the bass. I concentrated fully on this instrument soon after joining "The Huckleberries" in the summer of 2003, and a couple of years later I started learning the double bass. In addition to my work with "The Huckleberries", I am involved or collaborating in different projects (The Portrait Trio, Speak no Evil, Chris Rand Fusion Quartet, Subb Zero, Bossa Inmensa, Ally Brown Quartet, Soul Survivors) and I also teach bass, music theory and play gigs as a freelancer in the Bournemouth area. I am constantly learning about as many styles of music as I can, but I focus particularly on improvised music and anything with a strong groove: Funk, Afro-cuban, Brazilian music, Soul, Hip-Hop, Reggae, African rhythms and Jazz. Other interests apart from music include Eastern and Western philosophy, Psychology, Integral theory, travelling and the martial arts. I hope you enjoy the music, it's a selection of my work with other people, I am planning to upload my own compositions very soon, so watch this space if you are interested.
