I've been involved with art and music in one form or another at an early age and can say that I do it for the reason that it is something that is passionate for me and hold close to my heart, as well as being an outlet for how I can express myself. I usually don't talk much and have a generally laid-back and easy-going attitude, but it doesn't mean that I'm not thinking. I have cultivated a multifaceted appreciation for diverse philosophies and beliefs, and am thankful for all the people I've encountered along the way, who have helped me better understand myself as an ever evolving process. I'm mostly happy-go-lucky and inclined towards silliness, quick wit and dark humor from my friends. I guess I'm still a kid at heart and I think that I'm lucky for that.. I value the friends and family that I have and appreciate them for allowing me to become part of their lives. You all know who you are and you all rock!.. (=^.^=)
I was born in the western European country of Spain in the nation's capital of Madrid. I don't remember much of those days, only that when I was four, my parents decided to move to New York City in the area of Queens in Sunnyside/Woodside and in Manhattan Chelsea where I was exposed to the arts and the music of the radio. As a kid I banged out my first compositions on an old toy piano, and also sang for a couple of years in one of the school's chorus ensemble. I also remember some outdoor concerts in the neighborhood and this punk rock couple dressed in fishnets, goth make-up and leather jackets and I was like "fuck yeah!" Then during my first year of high school in Brooklyn, my folks decide that we move to sunny South Florida.. During my teen years, the first inspiration to pick up the guiar came from the waiter at my dad's restaurant when he brought an old acoustic in to play for me...
I then got my first guitar from a pawn shop when in high school and learned on my own from listening to old Black Sabbath, AC/DC, and Led Zepplin tunes and tried my best to figure out how to play by ear...After high school my best friend went up to Gainesville to the University of Florida and convinced me to move up there to check out the scene. I made friends that got me into New Wave, Metal, and old-school Goth/Punk-Industrial, like The Sisters of Mercy, Killing Joke, Slayer, Skinny Puppy, Joy Division, Bauhaus, Sex Pistols, Sonic Youth, Jesus and the Mary Chain, Ministry, Fields of the Nephilim, Death In June, My Bloody Valentine, The Cocteu Twins, etc... I am opened-minded towards anything that is experimental and love getting turned on to new bands... It was there that I was introduced to the legendary Rock And Roll's Hall Of Fame, Bo Diddley, who invited me to his compound and commented on how he had liked my playing. This inspired me to join several bands, and (upon moving back south), one of which whose drummer had a brother that was south florida's Marilyn Manson's bass player Jeordie White, A.K.A. Twiggy, who came around a couple of our rehearsals and had liked what he had heard, which was an ego-boost for me, duh.. I also found that sometimes some people forget about what is really important in life, such as friends and family and that one has a choice on how one acts towards each other as human beings...
I now continue to entertain the local South Florida scene and have opened up for some national acts such as The Lunachicks, Gravity Kills, Samantha7(C.C.DeVille/Poison,thanx for signing my Les Paul!), Modern English, Godhead, Pigface, the Damned, Fear, the Misfits, the Cramps, Gitane Demone(X-ChristianDeath), Genitorturers, The Impotent Seasnakes, The Psychedelic Furs, Wednesday 13, ect...
I hope to play more venues in the future and for the fans that come to the shows, I thank them above all for showing their continued support for the music and keeping the scene alive.. ..

Quiet at first...
Patient...
Then I can't stop talking...
Nocturnal...
Substances and liquids.....
Headspaces...
Digging into your brains..
Smoking lightbulbs...and the scent of winter...
Breathing it in...
In the darklit...
Stop...
I can't hear you...
But I understand...
The heart keeps beating...
Hope and standing back...
At the end of a tunnel, a spark...
A knock at the door and waiting for it to open...
Silence and listening for it's wings...
The salty taste of the tears running down your face...
And kissing them.....

"I honor the place in you
where the entire universe resides...
And when I am in that place in me,
there is only one of us."
-Namaste...........
Sometimes I look up into the sky and wonder the meaning of why... And all this, still resolutely patient.. Awaiting an acknowledgement..searching for something originating from a time of childhood curiosity... The coming of the dawn's early shadows...and it's silence... and knowing that nothing in the universe as unwaveringly imminent..
In love with the resonating sound of a guitar's strings in motion...The fascination of it's vibrating harmonics and glamour, carved out of a piece of wood blended with metal and smooth surfaces and a soul and it's spirit... The creation of it's landscapes and backdrops and 'yet to be' compositions not yet written... Instigatingly inspired by some natural law...The whole becomes more than the sum of it's parts..
Wanna follow
me down the
rabbit hole?...
