I try to enjoy life to it's fullest and live out my dream of being a musician, touring, recording and making a living out of it. I recently moved to Mexico City from Los Angeles, to tour with Latin Grammy nominated and EMI TELEVISA Latin Pop Rock singer and actress BELINDA and Latin Alternative Pop Rock songstress ARDNAXELA. I have bled six strings for over 22 years and have been blessed with great experiences and opportunities performing with an impressive roster of Latin artists. I was born in Erie, Pennsylvania and raised in Isabela, Puerto Rico, and in my mid-teens I fell in love with Rock music after listening to Pink Floyd, The Beatles and Black Sabbath while attending concerts from Miles Davis to The Ramones. I co-founded the Isabela bands Anshar, Corrupted Society, Sin Excusas , and performed with Post-Nirvana (now Sol D' Menta). I later graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Music from the Inter-American University of San German, Puerto Rico and relocated to Los Angeles, California to further my musical studies, graduating from The Musicians Institute (GIT), tutored under incredible guitarists such as Carl Verheyan, David Oakes, Scott Henderson and the late great studio session master Tommy Tedesco, who was a major inspiration to me. ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------I later came to tour/perform with Latin Pop artists Christian Castro, Joy Enriquez, MDO, Carina Ricco, Julio Andrade, Los Filis, and Latin Alternative Rock artists: El Vez, Acida, Lysa Flores, Pastilla, Sergio Arau, Vilma Palma, Felix and The Katz, Spigga, Torino, and Desvio. I have also worked with Latin/World artists Paulina Rubio, Alejandra Guzman, La 5ta Estacion, Fey, Alih Jey, Ines Gaviria, Miguel Cancel, Nek, Mikel Erentxun, Jordi, Millie, Charlie Zaa, Aleks Syntek, El Simbolo, Carlos Ponce, Laureano Brizuela, Serralde, Mera, Lorenzo Antonio, Erick Rubin, Ednita Nazario, Raheb Alameh, Mijares, La Faena, Livefeed, Claudia Brant, Lui La Fe, Natasha Perez, Fabrice Morvan, and Jaque Mate. I recorded guitars on CD’s for Joy Enriquez, Hechos Raros, DDP, Bella Y Oscura, Karina Von Ron, Letter To Rachel (soundtrack), 12 Horas (soundtrack), Desvio, DDP, Maria Fatal, Silvestre and was a member of the bands Satelite, Film, The Eccentrics, The MiGs, and Sonntag.---------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------I co-founded bands such as the Latin Alternative band SATELITE (Best Independent Band 2000- ASCAP Latin Awards), eclectic surf band THE MIGS (recorded 2 records and placed tracks on MTV and Telemundo shows), Latin Alternative band FILM, Moody Rock THE ECCENTRICS, and Indie garage band SONNTAG (the latter playing bass).I have a new project called - AFRODITA A, playing guitar, synths and theremin, employing Big Beat, Ambient Electronica and Organic UK Rock soundscapes made for TV, Film and Video Games... (special guests Arhkota (Nino Astronauta/Kobol) and Archi Frugone (Silvestre/La Ley). I have tracked guitars for two Carl’s Jr. commercials (also appearing on screen) and my guitars are splashed all over shows like MTV's 'Where are my Dogs at?, LIFETIME TV film 'FATAL DESIRE' starring ANNE HECHE and ERIC ROBERTS, (Music by JOEL GOLDSMITH), and numerous TV commercials. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------I play Fender, Gibson, Tacoma, Aparicio, and Epiphone guitars. I love HiWatt amps and hope to play them on tour. I love recording with my Reverend Hellhound 1x12 amp. My pedalboard consists of Fulltone, Real McCoy, Boss, Keeley, Menatone, and SIB pedals. I use Couch straps and Dunlop nylon 1mm picks. I am also known to play a Roland Juno 60, a 1978 Fender Musicmaster bass, a MOOG theremin and swear by MACINTOSH computers.Recently I played guitars for Mexican Latin Pop singer CARINA RICCO, Latin Alternative Chilean band SILVESTRE and currently with Latin Pop Alternative singer (from Puerto Rico), ARDNAXELA. and touring with EMI TELEVISA artist and LATIN GRAMMY nominated singer and actress BELINDA on the 'UTOPIA' 2007 - 2008 TOUR performing in the USA, PUERTO RICO, EUROPE, CENTRAL and SOUTH AMERICA, and MEXICO!!!--------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------ARDNAXE LA http://www.ardnaxela.com http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/ardnaxela http://www.myspace.com/ardnaxelaalexandra------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -AFRODITA A http://www.afroditaa.com------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------BELINDA http://www.belindaonline.com.mx http://www.myspace.com/belinda
