About Me
From Salsa Roots to Electronic Beats: Born in Venezuela, my story begins in a home where the legacy of classic Latin music wasn’t just heard it was lived. Surrounded by my grandfather and uncles, all passionate musicians, my childhood was scored by the timeless rhythms of Fania All Stars, Rubén Blades, and Dimensión Latina.
Roots & Rhythms
One day a schoolmate gifted me a Rock CD. I started experimenting with a Yamaha DD11 electronic drum kit. That moment opened a door I didn’t know existed. Rock became my obsession. I burned countless CDs, recorded cassettes, and spent hours navigating through rock genres.
In high school, I joined the orchestra as a bass drum player and connected with friends who shared my passion for rock. We formed my first band. I was the drummer and we performed at several venues. One of my friends gifted me an acoustic guitar, and I taught myself to play, but I wanted to improve my skills.
I enrolled in music lessons, studying drums, guitar, and music theory, while my professor introduced me to the sophisticated worlds of jazz, bossa nova, and funk. I learned to play bass and electric guitar, each instrument expanding my musical vocabulary.
The New Canvas
In 2008, life took me to university to study mass communications, and after graduation, I moved to Miami in 2014. Music took a back seat as I pursued a career in media management, though in the meantime I was learning keyboards and practicing drums at Music Turista Studios.
I eventually established myself as a Hotel Marketing Manager, but the pandemic changed everything. Locked down, unable to travel, and feeling disconnected, I made a decision that brought me back to myself: I bought my first DJ controller and started exploring House Music.
Soon after, I started performing at the Marco Polo Beach Resort Hotel on weekends. That residency gave me the experience to play at other properties I managed, including the Bentley Hotel South Beach and the Park Central Hotel South Beach and local bars. That controller reignited something I thought I’d lost, the pure joy of creating and sharing music while connecting with people and making them happy.
