Who I am

I was born in New York City in 1971 and shortly after that my family emigrated to Spain. The reason for this move was artistic. My parents who are also musicians decided to devote their lives to flamenco.

The first years of my life were spent traveling all over Spain and surrounding countries. By the age of nine I had also become quite a little flamenco artist myself and I joined my parents' group playing guitar, singing, doing percussion and in later years I was even doing some keyboard playing.

Finally in 1992 I quit doing flamenco to pursue my own career as a solo singer keyboard player which is what I have been doing ever since.

My audience

The vast majority of my work has been in hotel lounges and at dances on the eastern coast of Spain playing mostly for people from the UK, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and of course for Spaniards.

My repertoire

With such a varied audience my repertoire has also become very varied. I play everything from waltz to rock'n roll including ballroom styles like cha-cha, tango, swing, pasodoble, foxtrot, Mexican rancheras to name just a few. For younger people I play pieces from artists like Shakira, Ricky Martin, Tom Jones, Enrique Iglesias. And finally I enjoy playing modern latin rhythms like cumbia, merengue, reggaeton or salsa.
