I'm a professional musician, jazz pianist, producer and cultural manager

About Me

I was born on February, 4th 1992 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I'm a professional musician from graduated from the “Escuela de Música Contemporánea” (Berklee International Network) in 2017 and graduated from the Jazz Technique at “Conservatorio Superior de Música Manuel de Falla” in 2023. As a musician I play jazz with different groups and musicians, and I've played in several jazz clubs in Buenos Aires, such as Thelonious Club, Bebop Club, Borges 1975, Swing City and Centro Cultural Nueva Uriarte. I'm also a piano and music teacher, and I direct jazz ensambles since 2019. As a cultural manager, I manage the Centro Cultural Nueva Uriarte (CCNU), a venue and cultural space located in Palermo, Buenos Aires, where I do the artistic direction. The CCNU has almost ten live music concerts per week. I also participate in a NGO called “Asociación de Músicos de Jazz (AMUJ)” that develops cultural projects orientated to Jazz. With this NGO I produced a Jazz program called “Jazz Aca” with audiovisual live sessions and interviews. This program was presented at the Buenos Aires International Jazz Festival 2022 and declared as a cultural interest by the Buenos Aires Legislature.

My Jazz Story

I love jazz because it's spontaneous and unique, and it's a beautiful way of expressing oneself. I was first exposed to jazz at music school in 2014. The best show I ever attended was Snarky Puppy's concert in Niceto Club on November 15th 2015. The first jazz record I bought was "Red Garland's Piano". My advice to new listeners is to attend to a lot of live concerts.
