Musician and composer
I am a professional violinist, composer and multi-instrumentalist with over 20 years of experience in the field.
I began my studies with the Suzuki Method at the age of four and received training from Finlay Ferguson and Esteban Raspo.
I have taken masterclasses and private lessons with renowned musicians such as Mirjam Tschopp (CH), Carmelo de los Santos (BR), Sophie Lüssi (CH), Paul Kantor, and the Borromeo String Quartet (US). I have had the privilege of sharing the stage with many notable artists, including Augusto Blanca (CU), Raúl Carnota (AR), Yusa (CU), Raly Barrionuevo (AR), Olga Román (ES), Ana Prada (UY), Víctor Heredia (AR), Ximena Sariñana (MX), Humbe (MX), among others.
In 2006, I was honored to receive First Prize at the 25th Selection of Young Musicians organized by the Mozarteum Santa Fe (AR). During 2011–2012, I was awarded a scholarship to study Music Performance with Dr. Shannon Thomas at the University of Southern Mississippi.
I have performed with various orchestras, including the Teatro del Libertador de Córdoba Youth Symphony Orchestra, the Rosario Chamber Orchestra, the Southern Miss Symphony Orchestra, the Meridian Symphony Orchestra, the Rosario Symphony Orchestra, the Mexico City Philharmonic Orchestra, the Minería Symphony Orchestra (MX), among others. As a performer, I have also been involved in musical theater, serving as 1st violin for the Broadway Musical of Anastasia in Mexico City.
I have had the privilege of composing music and creating sound design for film productions in Mexico, Germany, Holland, Poland, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States, including projects for Netflix. In November 2022, I was honored to be selected as the winner in two categories at the 168 Film Festival in Atlanta (GA): Best Original Score Composer and Best Sound Design.
Currently, I continue to work as a composer, teacher and musician.
