If you are so inclined, I would also encourage any constructive criticism of my music. If my music does not fit in your musical taste and experience, it’s probably not wise to comment, but if it does, and you notice obvious things that I have overlooked or I could do better, I am open. It does not take long to lose one’s objectivity when hearing the piece possibly hundreds or times. 

But please be kind. I may not always agree, but will appreciate your effort, care and feedback.

 My musical background is varied. I started studies in music theory and violin at the age of 8. At the age of eleven, I started with  guitar. I 'm a self-taught guitarist. One year later I started in  a school to study harmony and modern piano for six years. In 2006 I moved to Madrid to study visual production and sound.

I'm part of several bands which plays different styles: Rock, pop, heavy ...

My favourite music style  is classical music and rock. I do not think that both worlds need to be exclusionary.

My musical instrument is the piano. I spend my time playing it with complete devotion.

Some samples that can be heard on SoundCloud serve to show the variety that I can cover. I give special priority to  symphonic samples.
