I started playing classical piano, studying at the Conservatory of Bilbao with Agustin Vergara, Mercedes Albaina, Paloma Aristegui and Ignacio Amman, and I played actively in local rock and pop bands as a teenager.

Then I went on to study with Rob van der Broek and Robert Jan Vermeulen at the “Artez College of Music” in Netherlands, with Bernard Maury in Paris and with Danilo Perez, Ray Santisi, Laszlo Gardony,Paul Schmeling, Alon Yavnai, Allain Mallet and Edward Bedner (classical repertoire) while studying at Berklee Boston.

I’ve been a semifinalist at the “Montreux Jazz Solo Piano Competition” in 2003, as well as a finalist of the “Tete Montoliu” competition in Spain in 2005.

I’ve performed solo concerts among others at the following venues: Hotel Arts/Reina Sofia Barcelona, hotel Puerta de America Madrid, Hotel Carlton Bilbao, at Jesus Polanco’ s house (Président Prisa, Madrid), Casino of Biarritz, at Mr.&Mrs Bell (Boston), Rouchon Photography Studios (Paris 5th), at the wine Museum “ El Grifo” in Lanzarote, Hotel Hilton Quito (Ecuador), Hotel Grand Palace, (Montreux, CH).

I frequently play in duo settings as well, may it be accompanying singers, horn players or with other instrumentalists such as guitarists, bassists, percussionists…

Concerning the duos, we have a project going on with Cuban saxophonist Carlos Mejias: we both met in Madrid some years ago, and having a common Ibero-American background we decided to put together a repertoire based on Latin Music (Flamenco, afro-Cuban, tango, Brazilian,..)

The repertoire that I know is pretty varied and eclectic: it may consist on my own compositions and arrangements, on all time Jazz Standards, arrangements of Classical repertoire, latin standards or pop tunes.

If’ u’ d like me to put together a specific repertoire for a special occasion don not hesitate to contact me so that I can prepare a “wishlist” especially for you.
