I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Hello everybody! MySpace has been a quite a trip. It's been great reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones and networking with musicians. Here's a quick bio about me: I was born in Santurce, Puerto Rico but grew up in Queens, New York and Orlando. I returned to New York in 2000 and currently living in my old neighborhood in Queens and renting from the same landlord I had as a kid, talk about coming full circle. I'm an alumni of Gateway High School(go Panthers!) and UCF(go Knights!) I'm a former dj and afternoon character(Ray Puente) on 96.5WHTQ. I work during the day as a marketing coordinator but I'm an aspiring musician. I'm currently the guitarist for an original rock band in the New York city area called Palm and will soon be playing out in a hard rock/metal cover band. I use Ibanez guitars, Peavey 5150 amps, Ernie Ball strings and Boss effects. I recently got married to a wonderful woman and you can see some of the wedding pics here as well as photos of my performing and with some celebrities.

Music:

My favorite bands include Van Halen, Journey, Whitesnake, Dokken, Winger, Mr. Big, Queensryche, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Rush, etc. Basically good melodic hard rock and metal.
