About me

Venezuelan Musician since 2010 who trascends from typical beats and immerses the listener to complex sounds merging latin percussion, hip hop, rock, smooth guitars, samples, lots of synths and world music.

I`ve been working as a composer for about 5 years integrating foley and sfx elements into my work, as well as everything else.

I started out playing drums, with different friends and later on bands from all styles of music, including jazz, alternative rock, grunge, metal, acoustic and others. After a while I realized that what I actually wanted to do was to experiment with everything out there, every instrument and sound, without thinking about a genre, or style or how`s my next song going to be. After crossing my limits and breaking that unbearable barrier , I found myself in a new world, full of samples, synthesizers, instruments and sounds, and the beauty of it is that it never ends, I´m still in the search of my next obsession, that could be an instrument or an abandoned ship that makes a crunching sound capable of creating a bass line that would never be recognizable as the original sound.
