About Me

I was born in Netherlands in 1973, but I growned up in Chile. In 1993 I moved from Concepción to Santiago to study Bachelor in Arts with music theory mention at Universidad de Chile also I started to play in many jazz bands in the area. Nowadays I working as drummer and give drums lessons. I am working in a project at the Club de Jazz de Santiago, jazz work shop for high scholl student.As drummer I play with Retaguardia Jazz Band, whose plays the New Orleans Style, and also with many soloists who ask my services.My newest project is a CD named Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum, a tribute to the jazz masters. The album is a collaboration with the principal players of the Chilean jazz scene and the music is a mix of original compositions and standards treated with new versions. Im really happy with the results and I hope that you can enjoin also. If you want to buy it call to 56-2-2225357 or leave a message here.Thanks.
