From Argentina in Ibiza

Argentine guitarist, singer, composer and music producer. “Since I was a child, many friends and fellow musicians walked around my parents house on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. The presence of remarkable artists such as Miguel Abuelo, Cachorro Lopez, Miguel Zavaleta, Andres Calamaro, Kubero Diaz, among others, shaped my identity" quotes the musician. From the beginning he showed a very strong artistic concern that led him to write songs from an early age. He recorded two albums between 2005 and 2012 with Seres Afines and Mama Testa, both with a predominance of the rock and funky sound of the 70's. Working at Mondomix studio from 2012 to 2015, with established Argentine producers, he was a sessionist for artists such as Soledad, Vicentico and also others like: Kudai (Chile), Joaco Terán, GO (the unforgettable party) etc. His career and experience as a musician led him in 2015 to be part of the renowned band Las Manos de Fillippi, touring several festivals in Latin America: Rock al Parque, and Viva el Planeta (Colombia), Vive Latino (Mexico), Festival de la Cosecha (Chile) and Cosquín Rock (Argentina), among others. Back to the roots: During those years the stages, the provinces, the countries passed... and already tired of the intensity of the tours and traveling, playing every week, every month, for 4 years the inevitable happened.
