About Me


I have dedicated myself to music composition and performance. I play guitar, piano, drums, and I sing. I am into all styles of music and am very open in terms of collaboration and writing. I love venturing out for the sake of capturing and juxtaposing sounds in an interesting and touching way.I enjoy working with masterful musician and trumpet virtuoso, David Longoria. Keep an ear open for his newest effort, "Baila!". "Baila!", amongst other evocative sounds, features my guitar playing. Together, we have found a way to incorporate my flamenco guitar playing into a mixture of sounds from the Latin Jazz, to the Soul, to the Electronica pallatte. For more information about David Longoria, visit his page on myspace (myspace.com/davidlongoria), or visit his website, davidlongoria.com. For more information on Del Oro Music, visit deloromusic.comI also enjoy working with Del Oro Music's own Juliet B. Rock. For more on Juliet and samples of her music, check out Juliet's page on myspace (myspace.com/julietbrock), visit deloromusic.com, or visit her website, julietbratrock.com.

Story for Glory:

A man once was who claimed he owned a pair of shoes so crafted as such that the force of a fall from a ten story building could not overpower the resistant force capable of the shoes. I once came acro...
