Musician

Born in Peru into a low-middle-class family, I faced financial barriers that hindered formal music education. Undeterred, I dedicated myself to self-study, cultivating a passion for music that eventually became a driving force in my life. Early on, I showcased my artistic flair by participating in school events, be it through dance, reciting poems, acting, or singing.

Guided by my father, an artist himself, I delved into the world of drawing. This early exposure laid the foundation for my artistic journey. The pursuit of theater studies followed, shaping my understanding of the performing arts.

In 2014, I ventured to Europe, aspiring to forge a career in acting. However, the cultural transition proved challenging, and I found solace and direction during travels to the Netherlands and Spain. There, I embarked on a serious exploration of music, initially through free online courses and later under the guidance of private tutors in singing, harp, piano, composition, and music production.

By 2023, I embraced a new chapter as a digital nomad, exploring Mexico and Greece. Currently, I am constructing my own campervan, a mobile haven for creating music while immersing myself in inspiring locales worldwide. Looking ahead, my sights are set on a program beginning in April 2024, steering me toward a career as a soundtrack composer for movies and video games.

To foster a closer connection with my audience, I curate an exclusive online community, sharing more intimate aspects of my life. Through this, I aim to build a supportive space for fellow enthusiasts and those intrigued by my artistic journey.
