A Lifetime of Music, Rooted in Story

My musical journey began in Chula Vista, with the resonant hum of a worn nylon-string guitar my father gifted me at age 12. That first pulse of music set in motion a lifetime of dedication.

With over 30 years of professional performance experience, I’ve evolved from playing intimate backyard gatherings to curating musical experiences at luxury weddings and events across iconic venues like La Valencia and the Fairmont Grand Del Mar.

Music, to me, is not just a service—it’s the art of sculpting an emotional landscape for life’s most meaningful moments. My purpose is to create a sound that feels deeply personal and universally moving, ensuring every note reflects your story and tradition.

My Philosophy: Crafting a Living Soundtrack

I believe the most powerful musical experiences arise from a blend of meticulous artistry and profound human connection. My people-first approach prioritizes the full emotional journey—one that lingers long after the last note fades.

I don’t just perform a setlist. I listen, interpret, and translate your vision into a living soundtrack that’s authentic and unforgettable.

The Process: A Fusion of Tradition, Artistry, and Innovation

• Cultural & Story-Driven Curation: My process starts with listening—to your story, your background, and the emotions you want to evoke. From Spanish-Bollywood Sangeet fusions to elegant first dance arrangements, every performance is a custom-tailored collaboration.
• Technological Enhancement: I use proprietary AI-assisted tools—not to replace the artistry, but to augment it. These tools read room dynamics and guest energy in real time, allowing the music to adapt organically. Optional 360° and spatial audio add immersive layers to transform cocktail hours into interactive sonic stories.
