About Me

..TR ..TABLE
Hecate
?? Which Of The Greek Gods Are You ??
brought to you by Quizilla
Booking Agent, Musician, Magick, healer, rat.
I have always been interested in communications, art and music.
Middle son of a couple of musicians I live my childhood between MD..s, paint and drawing classes, and any geeky science club available on a military regime city.
I have performed in many music expressions such as punk bands, operas and chilean traditional groups, back in the 80..s I was part of the punk rock pioneers Aborto Con Sopapo , also of the eletro hippies Liebermen has Jumped , even though I think I found my real way with E-men, my own project.
At the end of the 80's with Cristian Muñoz and Claudio Gutierrez we did one of the first college radios in Chile at the 94.5 FM, Radio Universidad de Santiago. One of the big collaborators was PDMA..s Claudio Parra. Radio Show that is still alive with Pablo Medel, on saturday afternoons.
From 1989 to 1991 I was DJ and VJ (the first one in Chile) for the Spandex parties, working with DJ..s like Mauricio Terrazas, Alfred Mora and Marcos Pizarro, plus having the wonderful chance of working with Daniel palma and Andres Perez.
During 1995-1996 I did video recording for most of local acts that performed at Background, a cool record store/club that gathered the local music scene, doing vids for people like Santos Dumont, Los Mismos, Luna In Caelo, Solar, Shogun, Panico, Plan V, El Otro Yo, Suarez, Juana La Loca, la Floripondio, Fiskales ad Hoc, among many others.
From 1995 to 2000 I did part time jobs for DG Medios doing translation and logistical work for many rock shows such as Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Kiss, Luis Miguel, Metallica, Love and Rockets, Nick Cave, Smashing Pumpkins, Björk, The Prodigy, etc.
In the music recording field, since I have trained myself little by little I have worked on recording with local artists such as Pànico, Repudio and Santoad, also with the SF Bay Area band Exodus.
Between 1995 and 2003 I collaborated writting articles and reviews for magazines such as Electroshock, Revista IMI, Chile jazz, Musica.cl and Milkbox.cl
I got a band called e-men since 1998, little by little doing some cool things.
You can hear some tunes @ our profile.
Since the mid of the 1990´s I have been very into learning about the subconcious mind, learning about Reiki, Hypnosis and Meditation facts. I have practiced Magick several times, somthing that is applied on daily basis through the usage of metaphisical Reiki.
From 2004 I have been booking artists and promoting shows in the Santiago de Chile area, some of the shows where I have worked are Placebo, 8MM, Lucybell, Fear Factory, Also since I am working on Centro Arte Alameda, since Sept. 2005, I have worked with most of the local chilean scene, featuring artists such as Los Mismos, Familea Miranda, Gepe, Upa!, Mauricio Redolés, Guiso, CHC, etc. Also, on the Alameda I have worked on promotion for Oxigene 8's Linda Cushma, No Longer Music(Netherlands), Guillermo Cides (Spain), Nono García (Spain), Orquesta Típica Fernandez Fierro (Arg) and independently with Misia (Portugal),U2 + Franz Ferdinand, The X Girls Show (Las Vegas, USA), also currently works with bands like Upa!, Mantekilla Digital, Operador, Combo Ginebra, among others. On past June organized the south american tour for Robin Guthrie, also during 2007 I worked on shows for La Calle de Ángela (Spain), Reis / Aldo Brizzi (Brazil, Italy), Orquesta Típica Fernandez Fierro, Holden, Oxygene8 among others.
I consider myself an easy access person, very talkative communicative, a man full of ideas and good will.
