I am not from Latin America, I grew up in the U.S., but I later discovered Latin American music while pursuing a music career in New York City. I fell in love with the vibe, the richness, the organic sound, and so for the next twelve years after the first hearing, I devoted my creative energies to this genre. I believe I bring something fresh and unique to this type of music, not being from Latin America and having grown up listeneing to mostly British and American classic rock.
