Since the age of seventeen, I have participated in more than 1000 live performances. I’ve played and recorded 17 albums with various top musicians as well as some collaboration’s in other artist’s releases. Most of these works have been released by major labels.
Between the period of 1988-1993 I was a key member of the successful punk rock band named ‘Censurados’ which consisted of performing at a number of different stadiums and festivals. Since then I have played with artists with other music styles and, I’ve appeared on and within, many forms of media such as, radio, television shows, numerous newspapers and magazine articles, to promote the music projects I have been involved with. I am a versatile performer and have shared stages with some well known international artist’s including Neil Young, PJ Harvey, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, Stranglers, Carter USM, Beck, Bob Dylan, Moloko, Macy Gray and Bob Geldof. Certain music I was involved with was used for movie soundtracks, sitcoms, theatre, etc.
