I started playing classical guitar at 7 years old. I attended a local academy, learning music theory, playing classical pieces as a soloist and Spanish guitar in groups with other guitarists.
I slowly got introduced into pop and rock too, so at 12 years old I began playing electric guitar on my own alongside of my classical education. I played at two local concerts every year, alone with my classic guitar and at a group with the electric guitar.
At 14 I joined a profesional degree in classical guitar and started a 6 year journey to become a profesional classic guitarist. This included extensive music theory, composition, history, piano, chamber music and of course a yearly classic guitar concert.
Meanwhile I started taking classes of electric guitar in the same local academy and tried learning to sing on my own.
Six years later, when I finished my profesional degree, I took the exam to join a superior degree in classical guitar. I attended for 6 months, but realised that I wasn't learning what I wanted, and decided to take another path.
I began taking profesional singing classes, which I did for an entire year, and started my journey in modern music production.
Alongside the multiple bands I played with in my local academy, at 13 years old I created a rock band with my brother and a school friend. We played mostly for fun, without any goal. This changed when an older friend joined us as a guitarist and we decided to create our first repertoire and play for a few minor concerts. Unfortunately we abandoned the group because of schedule incompatibilities.
A few years later, when I was 18 I created another band again with my brother (on the drums) and a friend I met at the academy (a profesional singer and pianist). We named the group "3 en raya". We played a few concerts and started creating a few of our own songs. We even ended up second place on a Spanish music competition.
On 2020 we were joined by another friend, who would play the Bass, and we changed the name of the band to "4 en Raya". We kept doing concerts until recently, where Covid19 didn't allow us to continue and the band was put on hiatus.
We still play from time to time, but now we all have personal projects and lack the time to seriously practice for concerts again.

My recent journey has been one of creating music on my own. I started making covers in 2018, although I didn't publish anything until 2019. There was a steep learning curve, even bigger when learning on my own, but a clear improvement can be seen throughout my videos.
I play classic guitar, electric guitar, bass, ukelele, piano and sing, so the hard part was not the musical resources but actually learning how to record and produce. This took a long time, but eventually I succeeded in my most elaborate cover at the time, which was rocket man.
From there journey got even harder, since the next step was to learn how to mix and master a song properly. Of course I still improved in the production area, but the challenge was in making a song sound like it was created by a profesional. This is something I can only say I accomplished on my latest cover, We all lift together.
Video production has always been my weakest area, mostly because of lack of budget and equipment. The editing itself was something I had to learn, but editing means nothing if you don't have resources.
