His creative project is based on a travelling and exploring philosophy that enriches his Art with new cultures and material worlds. All these features make it very difficult to categorize or define his music.His first experimental record, Transparent, reflects this complexity and includes a set of tracks recorded with the help of different non-conventional instruments. Some of them are made out of crystal, for example: bottles, wine glasses; and other instruments include: umbrellas, lamps, pans, a suitcase, etc. Although he’s now open to all kinds of instruments, including the ones built by himself reusing old objects or recycling material, he started his career using conventional instruments as most musicians do in the beginning.He was first inspired by Reggae. In fact, tracks like Happiness Way, with a powerful Reggae sound, are still part of his repertoir. His continuous search for new sounds and musical patterns has made him combine different musical styles and rhythms to develop a new way to perceive and compose music. One of his main aims is to come closer to the roots of the musical knowledge shared by all People on Earth. He also believes that music itself does not require any specific material support. For him, music can be expressed in many different ways regardless of the instrument.

“A musician carries music within himself. He doesn´t need an instrument because he is the music himself”
