Desde muy ni\u00f1a empec\u00e9 a aprender a tocar piano y cuatro venezolano: el piano por querer copiar a mi hermano mayor y el cuatro porque mi mam\u00e1 lo tocaba. Particip\u00e9 en el primer concierto de estudiantes de piano en un teatro del DF en M\u00e9xico, a los 6 a\u00f1os, y desde entonces no he dejado de aprender, tocar, cantar y sorprenderme por la necesidad vital que sentimos los m\u00fasicos de producir sonidos e inventar historias.<\/h6>\n

From an early age, I started learning and playing piano and Venezuelan cuatro: piano because I wanted to copy my older brother and cuatro because my mother used to play it. At six, I participated in my first piano student concert at a theater in Mexico DF. From then on, I have not stopped learning, playing, singing and being captivated by the vital need musicians feel to produce sounds and create stories.<\/h6>\n
My training happened mainly in Venezuela and the US with different Latin American maestros, and it is in our shared histories space and in those moments of encounter when we recognize each other, where the music I create and enjoy playing resonates the most.<\/h6>\n
After living many years in a society of worldwide migrants and visitors and experiencing a wide range of music, arts and traditions, I found that the opportunity to borrow unique Latin American rhythms and roots music forms to place them side by side with jazz and contemporary ideas, offer an open vessel to improvise, assert, and question the ever-escaping present while recognizing the past that brings us together in music and reflection.<\/h6>\n
My professional work in the United States includes collaboration with artists such as Jacqueline Rago and the Venezuelan Music Project; the Classical Revolution ensemble; the Creative Voices choir of Eduardo Mendelievich, Alex de Grassi, Rafael Manr\u00edquez, Meli Morgaine and Walter Strauss among others.<\/h6>\n
In Chile, I have collaborated and worked with artists from the Cuarteto Austral, Latin American Saxophone Quartet, Pancho Sazo, Pepe Seves, Pedro Villagra, \u00cdtalo Pedrotti, Chicoria S\u00e1nchez, Daniela Conejero, \u00cdtalo Aguilera, Felipe Canales, Dalila \u00c1lvarez, Natalia Contesse, Natalia Barahona, Costa Rican singer-songwriter Amanda Rodriguez, Daniel Delgado, Edu, Juan and Diego, the Sankara Duo, Tata Barahona, Merk\u00e9n, Andr\u00e9s Gastelo, La Orquesta del Bosque, Claudia Stern, Josefina Eche\u00f1ique, \u00c1ngela Acu\u00f1a, Andr\u00e9s Landon, Chopenz, and Evelyn Cornejo, among others, and I have toured the United States, Canada and Latin America.<\/h6>\n
As a singer-songwriter and soloist, I presented my work in Madrid accompanied by maestro Pedro Barboza and with the collaboration of the renowned flutist Omar Acosta and the great repentista poet V\u00edctor Hugo M\u00e1rquez. I also participated as a special guest in presentations by master percussionist Carlos T\u00e1lez, of the D\u00faHo project by Pedro Barboza and Yrvis Mendez and accompanied the artist Tom\u00e1sss on percussion within the framework of the Relevo Festival held at the Condeduque Cultural Center.<\/h6>\n
I am a founding member of the Latin American fusion ensemble Quijerem\u00e1 created in California, and the QyM Ensamble in Chile with Quique Cruz, accompanied in Chile by the bassist Patricio Rojas, the trumpeter Carlos Soto and the guitarist Antonio Luna.<\/h6>\n
I am part of the Pedro Villagra Trio & 4tet with Rodrigo Alvarado and Johi Turina, and I have participated in several music recordings by maestro Pedro Villagra and in his latest production Dominio P\u00fabliko.<\/h6>\n
I am currently developing a work of original music as a duo with the pianist Miguel Antonio Sep\u00falveda where the central idea is to maintain a Latin American sense in our repertoire that also incorporates a jazz language to give space not only to the expression of our experiences in classical, popular and Latin American jazz fusion music, but also to maintain an open space for collaboration and participation of special guests through improvisation and allow ourselves to be surprised by the nuances and magic of constant creation.<\/h6>\n
