ABOUT

I was born in Mexico and I live in Houston, Texas. I've been a musician for over 20 years. Like most, I started playing with friends at parties and then *decided* that I wanted to be a rockstar ;) I wrote my first songs when I was in high school and they were terrible, but they were my first attempts at something that will always be a part of me.

After playing covers and some original songs with a bunch of bands, I met the guys from Zubersiva, a band from Monterrey that had been together for a while, but their singer had just gotten married and moved to Europe, so I auditioned and got in. For them, I wrote about 30 songs, and we recorded two demo EPs and an LP. Our singles "Busy" and "Suenos" (Dreams) became radio hits in local stations in Monterrey. We got to be on TV, radio, play festivals and even open for RATT back in 2008. In 2009 we did a little tour in South Texas to try and bring our music to the US. We parted ways in 2010 and I moved to Texas, while the rest of the members stayed in Monterrey.

I recorded a solo EP in 2010 called "Seven" in Spanish under an independent label called The Note Garden Records and that was about the last thing I did with my music. I moved to Texas by the end of 2010 and started working more on my photography (for a living) than music.
