About Me


Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net
I was born some years ago (may 1980) in Bogota, Colombia, crowded place with a lot of smog and traffic jams.
My first instrument was my mother's acoustic guitar, she gave me my first lesson, she still sings and by the way she is really good, although sometimes to shy to do it, that is how she captivated my father, which by the way bought me my first guitar, so everything is connected as you can see. Since that, I've had 10 years of private lessons, schools and switched to various instruments and ended up playing bass and making noise with it.
Then after some musical studies and double bass playing in Bogota, I decided to move to Amsterdam to pursue a career as a jazz musician.
And at the moment I work full time as a musician, i work with different bands and musicians and I like to write my own music. I like to draw from time to time, I like to cook from time to time, I like to sleep from time to time, Now i sing from time to time.
I have a Brother his name is SALOMON
