Back in 2011, I recorded my first solo album, with songs composed from ideas I created on the bass. These bass ideas were inspired by my 70s, 80s, and 90s influences, drawn from legendary bass players and groups such as Weather Report, Zawinul Syndicate, and artists like Jaco Pastorius (RIP), Victor Bailey (RIP), Marcus Miller, and Jimmy Haslip, to name a few.

After developing the material, I sought out diverse musicians around me to add their own unique flavor to my ideas, and together we formed a group.

The music is fusion style with Latin influences, as I’ve always had a deep appreciation for this rhythmically rich, open, and emotionally expressive genre.

TOCAR

In 2015, another album was released with the group Tocar.

In this group, we play with accordion, Latin piano, Latin percussion, and I perform on both double bass and fretted bass.
Most of our repertoire is original, composed by the band members, and we often arrange the pieces together during rehearsal sessions.
The album is titled Birds of Paradise.

To add an extra layer of beauty, we invited a string quartet from the RFO (Radio Filharmonisch Orkest) to contribute their unique flavor.
