About

I'm a voting member of the Grammy's and Latin Grammy's and love the 'business' side of music, and I'm happy to pass along anything that I've learned so far.


I have a degree in Classical Guitar Performance as well as 30+ years of playing Hard Rock/Heavy Metal, among many other styles. I've been playing Spanish/Latin/World Jazz and have received many awards, press, and airplay. I have also played and recorded worldwide symphonies, orchestras, and philharmonics with my original music.


I love the art of songwriting and can break down (form & analysis) any song. My specialty is theory and could give deep insight on your music.


I've recorded four CD's featuring these incredible musicians: Guitarists - Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme, Rihanna), Marty Friedman (Megadeth, solo artist), Strunz & Farah, Larry Carlton; Strings - Romanian National Symphony Orchestra; Violinist - Charlie Bisharat (Michael Bublé, Elton John, Lady Gaga); Drums - Walfredo Reyes Jr (Santana, Steve Winwood, Chicago, Frank Gambale); Bass - Bob Parr (Cher, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Barry White); Percussionists - Rafael Padilla (Miami Sound Machine, Shakira, Gloria Estefan) and Efren Guzman (Alejandro Fernandez, Armando Manzanero, Andrea Bocelli). Mastered by Chris Bellman (Van Halen, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson)


I am currently endorsed by Godin Guitars, Radial Engineering, Analysis Plus Cables, Morley Pedals, V-Picks, Neunaber Audio Effects, Voodoo Lab, BBF PedalBoards, Primacoustic, Mission Engineering, QiJack and DLS Effects. I have recently become a brand ambassador to the all-natural energy shot MTE, which includes appearing in commercials and licensing my music.
