Story

Started playing guitar at 9, been learning music theory and composition since then. Never studied in any music school but I read a lot about music. I am an Electronic Engineer working on telecommunications and currently studying Audio Engineering. I own my own studio called Music Alchemy and have several bands to work on. Easy going, friendly, sincere and crazy about music.
