About Me – Montreal-Based Musician, Composer & Producer
I grew up surrounded by music and creativity. My mother, a classically trained pianist from coastal Mexico, came from a long line of musicians but ultimately forged her own path as a rock artist. While touring across Mexico, she met my father—a Canadian former skate punk with a passion for breakdancing and abstract art. Creativity wasn’t just encouraged in my childhood; it was inevitable.
From an early age, I was immersed in music and art—watching my mom rehearse and record her fusion album Boulevard del Amour while my dad introduced me to abstract expressionism and raw, rebellious punk sounds. One thing became clear: I had to make music.
But for me, music isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I don’t believe in creative limits. Music is alive, and it should never stand still. Whether I’m composing, producing, arranging, or performing, my goal is the same: to create something real, honest, and resonant. Music is how I process the world, how I connect, and how I leave something behind.

The Power of Music: Breaking Boundaries and Connecting Souls
Music is a living, powerful force that has spread its tendrils across every corner of society. It's not just entertainment—music is an essential part of who we are, transcending borders, language, and politics to connect people in a shared emotional space. It speaks when words fail.
What makes music truly powerful is its ability to erase the boundary between performer and audience. A great song becomes something greater the moment it’s shared. Music evolves, embeds itself in our collective consciousness, and spreads across cultures and generations.
I’ve never been interested in playing it safe or sticking to a single genre. Music is limitless, and I’m driven to explore all it has to offer. Whether blending late ‘70s hardcore punk with ‘70s salsa or imagining a collaboration between James Brown and Led Zeppelin, I love breaking the rules and experimenting.
Ultimately, my goal is simple: to create something that moves people—whether through a groove that makes you dance, a melody that stays with you, or a soundscape that transports you. Music is meant to be felt, shared, and experienced in ways we can’t always explain—and that’s its true power.
