When
I was sixteen I enrolled at the Advanced Conservatory for Music in
Cordoba (Spain), where I studied Percussion, Saxophone and Piano
for three years.
I then studied Drums for one year at the Music
Workshop in Barcelona. The following year, I studied Drums at the
Musicians Workshop in Madrid.
I then went to Cuba (Havana)
for one year to study Drums and Percussion.
I returned to Spain
where I completed my Percussion studies at the Advanced
Conservatory for Music in Cordoba, obtaining my degree as an
Advanced Percussion Teacher.
During the summer of 2005 I had
classes with the drummer Obei Calvaire in Black Harlem (New York)
and I Played in some clubs in the city.
Over all these years I
have worked as a drummer and percussionist with many different
groups and musicians, in a variety of styles, including Rock, pop, Jazz, Flamenco, Africano, latino y Clasico having participated in more than 1500 concerts and recorded in more than 40 CD´s as a session musician in recording studios.
At the moment, I dedicate most of my time on my project which is backed up by a New York/Luxembourg based record company "RubyFlower-Records", with whom I signed up some 8 months ago.
But I still continue working as a session musician in recording studios and I accompany different artists and bands like Hafez Modir & Trío
Andaluz, Estress Trío (Dan Benlior, Rafa Aguila, Pancho Brañas),
Antonio Gómez Cuarteto, Maui y los Sirénidos, The Brain
Storming Jazz Quartet, Raúl Alcover, Bahía Brasil, Suhail,
Trío Andaluz (Jesús Hernández, Joan Masana, Pancho
Brañas) among others.
