Started playing guitar at 14 in different rock bands around Madrid.When I was 19 I became really interested in jazz style, that was the beginning of my musical studies.I got into a jazz school and started playing in some bands, getting in love forever with the music of Miles , Hancock and Coltrane.Then move to Holland to study jazz guitar in the Royal Conservatory of The Hague where everything started to change.My approach to the music and the way of making it started to change.I met wonderful people there who made me understand music and spirituality.At that point I was crazy with all soulful black music , soul, funk, blues, reggae, so decided to buy a bass.That changed the whole thing.I was crazy with grooves and got deep into rythm.From that point electronic music appeared in my life. After few years exploring the worlds of jazz, soul & funk, started messing around with computers and electronics, becoming more interested in styles like broken beat, house, drum n 'bass and different forms of electronic music.Huge respect to all the people out there bringing truth, soul & beauty to the music.Love you all.
