About Me

Music is my passion, I have 17 years of experience as a guitarist, songwriter and 10 years performing as a professional musician. I have performed in churches, schools, auditoriums, dive bars, concert halls, TV shows, outdoor festivals. The idea of expressing and connecting with others through music is empowering to me. I like talking about music, gear and guitar in general. During my early years I learned music and guitar through private lessons with different teachers. From the beginning I always wanted to be exposed to a wide variety of musical styles. I gained insight from playing as many gigs as I could, varying from church services, weddings, heavy metal shows. I also enjoy teaching guitar and like to cater my lessons to the specific needs of each student. I keep an open mind and work constantly on learning new subjects, concepts and skills. I have knowledge in: music theory, technique, songwriting and music production. Heavy metal is my main expressive musical outlet but I also enjoy playing and writing other genres of music such as: Rock, Pop, Funk, Blues, Jazz, Bossa Nova. In 2010 I joined heavy metal band HeadCrusher, Since then we have released 3 albums, mixed and mastered by award winning producers Tue Madsen and Jesse Gander. Our productions are available worldwide through all major digital music platforms such as: Itunes, Spotify, Amazon, to name a few. Music has opened many opportunities for me. It has taken me to international stages in support of some of the best heavy metal acts in the world. In addition of all my music and production roles in HeadCrusher, I also focus on the business side, networking, booking, promotion and social media. I am constantly working from my home studio where I focus on songwriting, guitar lessons and guitar production services such as reamping. I proudly use and endorse: ESP Guitars, Randall Amplifiers and Two Notes Audio Engineering. I'm bilingual, completely fluent in Spanish

What to expect in my Record Engineer Produce

Beginner - Intermediate

One of the best things my guitar instructors taught me was how to properly record myself. I will teach you all the basic concepts that you need to know to enter the studio and successfully track a song. With today's technology you don't need an expensive studio to record your own songs. In a matter of fact, if you have the right equipment you can do it from your own bedroom. My lessons in this subject are geared specifically towards guitar production. I can show you how to prepare your instrument, also important concepts and principles about working with DAWs Digital Audio Workstations and other guitar production techniques like re-amping. In order to give these lessons in-depth and to the best of my ability, I prefer that the student comes to my home studio. I have a lot of tools that will help you learn and understand how the recording process works. If you already own a basic setup, I won't mind traveling to you.
