Music Production and Education

Born and raised in Lima, capital city of Perú, an ever-growing South American country, whose people are known around the world for our creative, likeable, and hardworking nature. 

My background and experience are not only in Audio Engineering and Music Production, but also in higher education, having worked and led teams managing diverse responsibilities. As well as having been passing on my technical expertise and knowledge to younger generations for the last ten years.

Part-time faculty at the UPC School of Music since 2010 in the Electric Bass, Contemporary Music Ensemble I (Rock), Recording Techniques for Session Musicians, Digital Music Production, Audio Technology and Musical Project I and II courses in the three program´s majors.

This experience gives me a wide range of technical and interpersonal skills. I consider myself as someone technically savvy, that pays attention to detail, who can fit and work in many different types of situations, in order to reach a given objective. I also think my creativity, enthusiasm, and eagerness to learn can make me an asset for any projects I may embark on.
