Born and raised in Argentina, graduated from UNA (National Arts University), he developed an intense career in his young years as an award-winning classical concert pianist. Later he developed his skills as an overall musician working at Universidad del Salvador as a conductor and assistant of the symphonic orchestra, and in different music schools, the prestigious Conservatoire Gilardo Gilardi among them. Well known for his versatility, he performed in bands, ensembles, conducted orchestras and choirs, composed, recorded, arranged, accompanied and coached novel musicians through his early years.
He studied piano and theory with some of the best names in the world, which incentivized him to start teaching and coaching, transferring invaluable knowledge based on centuries of piano craftsmanship and research to the young generations, combined with new modern tools and efficient practice methods.
As a composer his catalog is wide, counting pieces for piano, orchestra, chamber music, albums, singles, music for films, and one Ballet, Inside-Outside, probably his most ambitious project, which premiered in 2019 in CETC Teatro Colon (Buenos Aires). At the studio, he collaborated extensively with many artists throughout the last decade in Argentina and in the UK.
