He started his musical studies in the field of Modern Music and Jazz in 2000 at the Escuela de Música Creativa in Madrid. In 2004 he settled in Barcelona, continued his studies in the Modern Music and Jazz Classroom of Barcelona and went to the Conservatorio del Liceo, where he began his formal studies of classical guitar.

He has studied with classical guitarists Sergi Vicente and Guillem Pérez-Quer and with flamencos Manuel Granados and Juan Ramón Caro. At the same time, he completed his training in courses and master classes with guitarists Sadahiro Otani, Fernando Rodríguez and Rodrigo Neftalí, with the pianist and pedagogue Nuria Patau and with flamenco guitarist and "cantaor" Joaquín Herrera. He has performed throughout Spain as a member of the Barcelona Guitar Orchestra and, as a soloist, different performances promoted by the Liceo Conservatory, "Music in the Parks" cycle, artistic circles, solidarity concerts, several recordings ... Since 2006 he combines his pedagogical and concert vocations working as a teacher (since 2011 at the Luthier School of Musical Arts) and perfecting and expanding his concert repertoire, consisting mainly of baroque, classical and romantic works and a series of his own compositions.
