“It is always possible to create something original”
- George Gershwin
Composer
Each composition begins with a narrative question: which atmosphere should emerge, which emotional tension should remain, and what trace does silence leave even before sound begins. From there, a working method takes shape around listening, restraint and the construction of a clear musical identity.
Musician
His artistic path moves across different creative contexts, from original composition to arrangement and the development of projects able to connect sound, image and stage. Every collaboration is approached as a shared construction, where sound does not merely accompany, but actively shapes the narrative.
