I have been a music lover since an early age. Originally, I’m from Chile, where I began my love for rock music and drumming by listening to Soda Stereo, G.I.T., Enanitos Verdes, and more. They called it ’Rock Latino’ back then. Around 1987, a friend gave me a cassette with a different kind of music and that was it for me… Kreator ‘Pleasure to Kill’. This new music opened my eyes and ears, and put me on a path that today has granted me a large variety of skills and possibilities that have been an important part of my life, giving me the strength and the vision to continue improving and defining myself with each day.
