He began playing the drums at a friend's house, but it ended up being kind of uncomfortable for him to go to his friend's house every time he felt like playing and bother the neighbors with such a noise. Then, as if by magic, thanks to the Frasca Family, a guitar that was like heaven-sent came to his possession and has stayed with him forever. It would be his first love. He formed his first rock band at the age of 12, with a couple of noisy neighbors, and right then started composing his first songs. His pop style was already setting a trend amongst bands of the time. In the midst of powerful, driven rock songs, the sensitivity for great melodies was never lost and always respected. Later on, at 17, he was part of the band "Switch", a band that would surprise everyone with its absolutely avant-garde style for the time. Meanwhile, he was trying to find his way in the commercial world of music, when he started working as a recording assistant in Ion, a recording studio based in Buenos Aires. There he gets acquainted with sound technology and professional recording. This would add another element to his music, which was that of the “professional sound”, without leaving aside the creative side of it. In his early 20s, thanks to Darta Sarmiento, he started making his first musical arrangements for other artists. That was an aspect he fell in love with; being able to give expression to different ideas, taking into account different styles and working with the most diverse artists. He also focused on composing his first songs for others; this is where his commercial composer side developed. Time would bring his first small productions and collaborations with important artists of Argentina and Brazil, such as Marcela Morelo, Natalia Oreiro y Xuxa, to mention some. In 2000, he settled in the US where his career continued on the road to success collaborating with artists such as Gisselle, Innis, Ilegales, Jeniffer Peña, Christian Castro, Patricia Manterola, etc. Finally, having already found notoriety in the U.S. as a composer, his songs have reached the top of the charts in the voices of Chayanne, Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez and his latest production "Thalia", who recorded 7 of his best songs which have become instant hits like "Amar sin ser amada", "Un alma sentenciada" etc. Nowadays, he is working on the comprehensive production of artists, composing, making arrangements and providing all of his talent and kindness to the most distinguished artists. His career is on the rise and increasingly involving deep melodies and lyrics. Jose Luis Pagan nominated for a 2005 Grammy Award as composer of "Valió la pena" (Marc Anthony) is determined to show that the best of him is yet to come, there is still much more to give, and he assures that his best song is the one he will compose tomorrow…
