I was born in 1984 in Santiago de Cuba (Cuba) in a family of musicians. At the age of 5, I began my first steps in a percussion instrument called Bongo, which I played in a family group. And we played traditional Cuban music. At the age of 12, I entered the Lauro Fuentes School of Music in Santiago de Cuba, and at the age of 13 I joined the band HALEO (pop rock and fusion). At the age of 15, I participated as a drummer in the recording of the band’s first album of LIBRE with EGREEN. In 2002 I took an intensive music course, 2004 Then I entered the DVR in a military musical orchestra and played there for 2 years.
In 2007, I arrived in Moscow for the first time, where I began my career as a musician. At first I worked with Latin bands, but a couple of years later I began to be invited to Russian groups and projects as a percussionist. I was fortunate to participate in such projects as SAMBATERIA, to play in the teams of the Great Jazz Orchestra of Peter Vostokov, Leonid Agutin, Lyubov Uspenskaya, Alexei Chumakov. I also participated in the filming of the television programs Dancing with the Stars, Shabolovka 37, Duets, etc. I currently work as a percussionist in the Moscow Bravo group and in Eilingrig Crew. I also plan to open my little percussion school.
