THE MUSIC
“Writing new and fresh music gives me so much pleasure. My music brings a lot of the influences from the Afro-Cuban music, Brazilian music and the music of South America blending it with with the jazz of United States. Being true to these influences is not an easy thing to do, but when you do it well, it sounds absolutely beautiful.
For me, music is a way to express oneself in a way that is often more powerful than words. Through my compositions and my playing I can describe people, places and experiences in the best way that I can. My debut album, ‘In Due Time,’ is really a snapshot of many of the events and people that have influenced me as a musician and as a person. My hope is that through this music I can bring a little bit of joy into the lives of the listener.”
