About
Based in London, and originally from Colombia, South America. I started playing guitar and bass guitar from a young age, listening to all kinds of music ranging from The Beatles, Red Hot Chili Peppers & Radiohead to Ruben Blades and Silvio Rodriguez. I moved to London in 2009 and went to London College of Music (University Of West London/BIMM) where I earned a BMus in Popular Music Performance with First Class Honours. I've been living and working in London since then.
My musical background and curiosity for different styles and genres as well as live and studio performing has led me to be lucky enough to establish long-working relationships in all aspects of music including: Touring, Writing, Recording, Radio & Television and Theatre work. I have worked and collaborated with different artists in the industry including Dionne Warwick, Michael Bublé, James Arthur, Gavin DeGraw, Benson Boone, Anastacia, Lauv, Lukas Graham, Josh Groban, Pixie Lott, Charlie Puth, Beverley Knight, Chaka Khan, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, All Saints, Mahalia, Izzy Bizu, Danny Jones, Lulu, Rhys Lewis, Marina and the Diamonds, Ella Henderson, Rumer, Morat, Sebastian Yepes, Ventino, Nik Kershaw, Duke Dumont and Nathan Sykes, amongst others. I have also worked on West End shows like Lazarus and Rip It Up, and I have been part of the band for TV shows like Comedy Game Night (Comedy Central) and Name That Tune (FOX).
Thanks for visiting!
