I’m a guitarist from Bogotá, Colombia, and music has been a huge part of my life since I picked up the guitar at 15. Back in the day, I was part of an alternative rock band with some uni mates, and we spent 7 epic years playing gigs around Bogotá and even touring a few cities across the country. It was an unforgettable ride full of riffs, road trips, and great memories.
After the band split, I took a bit of a break—okay, a 7-year-long break—but music never really left me. Now I’m back at it, dusting off the guitar and ready to dive into the world of music again.
I’m keen to jam, create, and connect with like-minded musos who share the same love for making something amazing. Let’s make some noise together!

EQUIPMENT
I’ve got a simple but solid setup that keeps me inspired. My main axe is an Epiphone Les Paul Special II, perfect for those crunchy riffs and warm tones. I also play a Yamaha TRBX174 bass, which brings the groove when needed. And to mix things up, I’ve got an alto saxophone for those moments when I want to add a bit of soul and uniqueness to the sound. Always keen to experiment and see where the gear takes me!
