ABOUT

Born and raised in Venezuela and now living in Chicago. I started to play the drums at age 8 and since then i never stop. I was drawn from the get go to rock music and after i spend my first years playing and exploring the drums in a couple of classic rock cover bands i started to play live shows in bars which gave me my first experience playing on stage and in front of a crowd, years later i auditioned for an original Folk/Rock solo artist band and tour with them around the country for the first time. Being part of this band expose me to a whole lot of other musicians and soon after a begin to play and tour with several other bands and artist. At the same time i was started to work in an original project named Vltravioleta that opened the doors for me to the world of music production and the studio recording experience and before i know it i was recording for other artist becoming a part of the music industry of my country and earning my living by playing the drums. I recently move to Chicago hoping to start a new carrier here.
