I started making music as a hobby in 2012. While still working on my music I enlisted in the U.S Army, and at the same time continued working on my craft. Upon finishing my contract I moved back to Puerto Rico. Now I work as a full-time producer/engineer/songwriter.
When working with artists I like to converse with them and be able to understand their vision and what it is they’re looking for so that way, I can incorporate not only their vision but, my own as well. My goal is always to help the artist reach the next level in their music and career.
