Musician, multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger. Originally from Santiago, Chile and currently located in New York City. Inspired by different styles, my music combines elements of latin American folk, Andean music, jazz, classical music, among others, following my goose bumps in an endless search for beauty and expression in sound.
