I have had songs in my soul and mind since childhood in New York. I kept them inside for years, nurturing music as it gestated. Meanwhile, my life proceeded as normal, leaving the US for Europe, getting married, having children. I reached a point in my life where I could no longer suppress the music inside me. The sounds were too insistent, savage and wild in my head. I had a jungle of melodies and harmonies packed between my ears, demanding release. Finally, I surrendered to the fantasias within, culminating in the production of my debut album GHOST SEX EMPIRE. I write all my songs firstly on a Spanish guitar, a humble instrument on which to build cathedrals of music, seeking the colors of sounds, weaving them all into a kaleidoscopic tapestry. His albums include My Destiny, Ghost Sex Empire, Against the Unlight, and the pre-release of mi FE.
