I was born in Germany on November of 1984. Later on I moved to California, where I lived for four years, I then moved to Puerto Rico when I was 5 years old. I've dedicated most of my life to music (keyboard, guitar, drum & percusion, writing, recording, jamming). I've recorded keyboards for many artists including Nino planeta, aurasonico, Somos Tres, El Secreto de Andromeda, Sammy Ramirez and currently the keyboardist for Nino Planeta, The Joe Quintana Band and drummer of The Analog Junkies. I started playing in local cover bands and jam bands at around age 17; This has made me a much better musician and I still love the jam band gigs.
At that time I began writing my own songs. My main influences are The Beatles, The Doors, Yanni, Loreena Mckennitt, old Rolling Stones, U2, Bon Jovi, I love a lot of artists from the Golden Years of Rock n Roll, too many to name, Hans Zimmer, John Williams, James Taylor, John Denver, Ricky Martin, Ricardo Arjona and the list goes on. Music isn't EVERYTHING to me, I am a culinary arts student, so maybe one day I can become a chef, and have my own tv show where I cook and play songs haha.
Niņo Planeta was one of my first experiences working in the studio. I was discovered by the bands drummer on one of those jam gigs I used to do with my brothers; from there I got the job to record on some tracks. After arriving to the studio and listening to all the tracks I knew I could do some nice work on all songs, I was lucky and they let me work on all songs, giving the album a whole new sound. They asked me to play live on two upcoming shows, and after that they asked me to be a part of the band. "Rebirth" was released December 10th 2006, with the first single "Siempre te Amare" a song I wrote just a few weeks before the release and it barely made it on the album. Since I'm currently recording my songs, I'll update soon
Artist Mission
My objective is to have a music career writing songs for other solo artists in almost any genre (rock, pop, hip hop, dancehall, electronic, acoustic, ballads, dance). I am willing to try anything musically. I love movie and videogames soundtracks, so hopefully one day I can work in this field too.
