About me

Born in Caravia la Alta (Asturias) and based in Santiago de Compostela. When I was twelve, I started playing classical and electric guitar, taught by professors Marcos Cabal and Guillermo Álvarez. As a guitar maker I learnt the job from Carlos Juan Busquiel (disciple of great masters José Luis Romanillos and Rafael López Porras). I’ve also attended classes and courses about guitar construction and lutherie with Robert O’Brien and Paco Chorobo.

My style of construction is based on the great builders of the 19th century, such as Antonio de Torres or Santos Hernández, with the ideal of the traditional guitar, sober in decoration, but light, resonant and full of nuances. Along with this, I consider that the guitar must be at the same time comfortable to play. With this scheme in mind, I have twice been a finalist in the “Antonio Marín Montero” guitar making contest, within the framework of the Granada Guitar Festival.

As a musician, after some years of playing with eventual bands and friends, I began to be interested on creating my own music, and then I started composing and producing music to a great variety of purposes, like book presentations (Plan B), rhapsodies, documentaries and cinema, musical theatre, etc.

I’ve worked associated with the prestigious visual artist Juan Carlos Quindós, in experimental video-art and live cinema performances like Deslumbre, or the audiovisual show titled Trip_Tic_Oo. In 2020 I published Horizontal, my first record, where I explore the narrative potential of melodies. I’m also co-founder of Néxodos collective, an initiative on contemporary creation connected with rural environments and peripheries.

Until 2021 I’ve worked simultaneously in a (great) deal of business, mainly related with marketing, education and media.
