"If a song I create makes someone feel understood, inspired, or just makes them move—that’s everything. That’s what makes me tick!"
I grew up surrounded by creativity. My mom, who'd come from a long line of musicians, began as a classically trained pianist from the coastal shores of Mexico - but ultimately forged a path as a rock musician. One fateful night while touring across Mexico she met my dad—a Canadian and former skate punk with a love for breakdancing and abstract art, a creator in his own right.
So from the get-go my childhood was filled with a myriad of creativity: my mom’s rehearsals and recording sessions for her fusion album Boulevard del Amour, and my dad introducing me to abstract art and raw, rebellious punk sounds. One thing was perfectly clear early on: I needed to make music.
But music isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. What drives me isn’t just making music, but the way music makes us feel—That’s why I never stay in one lane. Music is alive, and it should never stand still.
Whether composing, producing, arranging, or playing, I bring the same passion: to create something real, honest, and resonant. I make music because I have to. It’s how I process the world, how I connect, and how I leave something behind.
Music is like a powerful, god-like living thing that has spread its tendrils into the far reaches of society. And not for nothing, music is awesome!
It is more than entertainment; an essential part of who we are. It transcends borders, language, and politics, connecting people in a shared emotional space. It speaks when words fail.

Music is like a powerful, god-like living thing that has spread its tendrils into the far reaches of society. And not for nothing, music is awesome!
It is more than entertainment; an essential part of who we are. It transcends borders, language, and politics, connecting people in a shared emotional space. It speaks when words fail.
What makes music powerful is its ability to erase the boundary between performer and audience. A great song becomes something bigger the moment it’s shared. Music evolves, embeds itself in our collective consciousness, and spreads across society.
I’ve never been interested in playing it safe or sticking to one genre. Music is limitless, and I want to explore all it has to offer. Whether blending late '70s hardcore punk with '70s salsa or imagining James Brown collaborating with 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 sticks 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.
