I've been playing drums since I was 13 and it's been 40 years now. It all started with dancing, as a child I loved to dance and as I grew up in the 80s, having 3 older brothers, I absorbed the music they used to listened to. My style has a bit of all that, Pop, Rock, Funk, R &B, Disco, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal and so on. Later on I started studying music and my tastes expanded and I started playing Jazz, Fusion, Brazilian music, Argentine Folk music and Latin and Afro-Cuban music. My professional career began in 1995 when I graduated from the Instituto Tecnológico de Música Contemporánea in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I began teaching drums and being hired in bands at the same time that I had my own musical projects. In 2010 I composed the music for a contemporary dance piece called Los Posibles directed by Juan Onofri Barbato, which later made it to the cinema directed by Santiago Mitre.
I currently live in San Francisco, California where I pursue my career as a musician playing with local bands, recording music in my own studio, and teaching private lessons.
