Bio

I am a Puerto Rican musician, living in New York and studying at Bard College. My primary goal, and the one I am most passionate about, is to be the best musician I can be and to compose music that conveys a meaningful message to others. I want to integrate technology and music into my future. My qualities include self-discipline, empathy, creativity, and leadership. I play several instruments, such as classical, acoustic, and electric guitar, bass, drums, and the Puerto Rican cuatro. "When words fail, music speaks" - Hans Christian Andersen
