Percussionist

London

Public liability insurance of £10 million

I´m a professional drummer from Canary Island living in London My role as a session Percussionist, Drummer, and MD has brought with it an extensive background in the live arrangement. I thoroughly enjoy collaborating with artists to mold repertoire into a powerful and mesmerizing setlist that will promise to captivate an audience. I have played, arranged, produced, and written on a multitude of pop records Most recently I have been working alongside award-winning, Oscar-shortlisted London based music producer Pete "Box" Martin however my career extends back through projects with both established and emerging artists/producers some of which include Nigel Frieda (Rolling Stones, SugarBabes), Ron Winter (Death Row Records), Alus (Nicki Minaj, Danity Kane), Cuan Durkin

Quite talented drummer / percussionist and even better friend / bandmate. Passionate about his labour, always on time (free pun), and very creative!
