His beginnings in music, presented at the age of 12, when he was elected to be the soloist in the church choir, then began the study of the acoustic guitar. During his teens he spent many hours singing popular songs from various Latin American artists.

It was in Vienna, where with a twist of fate, the Latin music scene was deeply inserted in the musical domain. He performed for many years with his group, Café con Leche. Hence comes the name * Cafe *. Being on top of fame took him by surprise, and he made the decision to return to Spain.

In Madrid he formed his second band which was presented at the magority of the most important stages throughout Spain. In the 90s, their presence was known on the different TV channels frequently. While songs of his own composition were heard on radios across the country. He quickly discovered that his true calling was music, and decided to continue his Piano Studies, voice and guitar.
