How did your musical career begin?

I started playing the keyboards when I was 7 years old. Then I switched to guitar when I was about 9 or 10 and sticked to it until today! I started playing professional on my late 20s I would say, even though I played as a teenager a lot, sometimes even being paid.

What has been the most difficult song for you to write?

Any song that I write for myself or about myself ;-) My friend always said, "Play your song as if it weren't your own". It's easier to write and produce for other people.

What are you listening to right now?

"Lately", I have been listening to Charlie Puth, Rosalia, Maluma, Ella Mai, Cold War Kids...but I listen to lots of different stuff everyday...jumping from one song to the other. Music for TV keeps me dynamic.

What has been your favorite trailer to work on?

I think the most exciting one, even though I didn't get it was a trailer for Disney, where I had the chance to use all my memories and influences from Disney movies music and use them to create a Disney sounding piece of music. Beside I enjoyed a lot doing the Starz Entertainment 2018 End of the Year Campaign, with the song "Hold Me Now" by my buddy's and me band called Collision.

What genre of music do you enjoy making most?

Anything that has a mantric beat or groove. Urban, Hip Hop, Reguetón, Funk. It always feels good.

If you could collaborate with any artist, who would you pick?

With any artist that really wants to push and make it happen. I am eager to take any driven artist over the top. Everybody but no one in specific.

Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?

Producing and composing for a different artist every day. Making them happy with their songs becoming a musical piece. Their success will be my success. Also writing my own music and touring with a band of great friends and musicians.

If you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life what would it be?

That's a hard one! Probably Aja by Steely Dan or Abbey Road by The Beatles.

Do you have any non-musical influences? If so, what or who are they?

All those who have been told they couldn't do it and they did. Lately, I have been into the comedian Sebastian Maniscalco. He became really big on his 40s, but he has been pushing since his 20's, giving it all to his passion, the stand up comedy. Stay Hungry is his book's title...Highly recommendable, both him and the book.

What’s next for you?

Taking my career to the next level. I want to focus on artists.
