Composer, sound designer, guitarist and bass guitarist born in 1990 in Montevideo, Uruguay. Since 2011 I have been studying composition and guitar at the Escuela Universitaria de Música (University School of Music), in Montevideo, where my professors have been (among many others) Osvaldo Budón, Leonardo Secco and Gonzalo Pérez in composition, and Ramiro Agriel in guitar. I have also taken courses on composition with Coriún Aharonián, on Tango at the Escuela de Tango “Destaoriya” (”Destaoriya” School of Tango), and on Flamenco Guitar with Gonzalo Franco, as well as attended several workshops led by many other national and international professors.
Compositions of mine have been performed in concerts, festivals and workshops in Argentina, England, Mexico, Portugal, Scotland, United States, Uruguay and Wales, and I have written music for films, theatre plays and videogames. I have received awards and special mentions in composition, arrangement, recording and live show contests. As a performer I have taken part in several ensembles and choirs, recorded in released albums and a video DVD, and given over 200 concerts in Brazil and Uruguay.
