I am a well-known and respected musician with exceptional international experience. I am currently based in Edinburgh and am looking to collaborate with other like-minded and equally experienced professionals as either a session guitarist, a performer in a band and/or a music tutor.
With over fifteen years of professional experience, I hold a BA in Classical Music and Teaching from the National Conservatoire in the Dominican Republic. I was awarded the prize for Classical Guitarist of the Year in 2007 and have also produced tracks for film and radio. In 2008, I represented my country at an International Guitar Festival in Cuba and have also been invited to perform in a number of countries including the UK, Holland, Argentina, France and Spain, among others. In 2009, as the Artistic Director with the band Marel, I travelled to Buenos Aires on tour where we opened a concert for the legendary Juan Luis Guerra. I was also a special guest representing my country at the recent Viva América events in Madrid.
I play and teach a wide variety of musical styles including classical, rock, jazz, blues, Latin, funk and merengue. My work has been featured in films, most recently in the film El Trópico de Sangre. For a concert I played in with the world famous ensemble Los Hermanos Rosario, we were awarded the Concert of The Year in 2010 at the coveted Cassandra awards in the Caribbean.
Below is a selection of just some of the artists with whom I have collaborated, performed, arranged, recorded and produced in the past.
