-----------

With more than 17 years of experience as a session musician, I am familiar with every aspect of being a professional drummer. My live show performances and musical theater experience have given me the opportunity to work alongside a vast number of musicians, artists, and staff members, making me a person that can easily adapt to new working environments.

Being born and raised in Argentina, I grew up surrounded by Latin rhythms and culture, which can be applied to the drum set, bringing a diverse feel to any music genre.
