Bio

1965
I was born in Santiago de Chile. The eldest of three brothers, who are musician too

1974
I was 9 years old when i started with the music, attending to guitar classes on my school. But actually i wasn't particularly engaged in playing guitar, mainly because the difficulty to learn it. And besides there was a big problem, i had to sing!. That was too much for me...

1980
However, during the years and by the encounter with musicians, i started again to play guitar, but this time another instrument came up: the voice. So, in this manner i began to sing, on festivals, theater, bands, weddings.

1995
I moved to Mexico, where i lived for 5 years. Here i performed in bars, restaurants, varied stages. This was a magic experience, Mexico is a really special country.

1999
A new journey, this time to Barcelona. I wanted to live in Europe
and as my father come from Spain i have this nationality too. Thus my sojourn situation was solved

2002
I went to Bamberg, Germany. This was the second time in this country, where i stayed for three months. I sung in restaurants, feasts.

2004
And to Bamberg again!. Same work as two years before. After this, a new experience, this time in Paris, staying there a quite few months. Living there i realized that to live in Barcelona it's quite better than Paris, and then i returned to my home.

2006
At last my own compositions!. After much thought, i decided to write songs. I had a few writings and poems but they needed a melody, and that's what i did.

2007
Finally my CD: “Este es tu día”. After finishing the composing work, it remained only to record all this new songs, what i did in a few months in my home studio.

2009
A new trip to Bamberg, but now with the intention to stay longer here. Along with Peter Kubala, we founded the band, “Los comandantes”. We perform in several places in Bamberg and all around

2010
I'm still here!
