Specifically from his father, Miguel, who taught him how to play the guitar, and also from his mother, Maria, who instilled her passion for music in him. He currently lives in Madrid, where his career would start in the best flamenco tablaos in town, like Las Carboneras, Villa Rosa, Casa Patas, or Corral de la Moreria, among others. He also worked in theatres, such as Teatro de Bellas Artes (Madrid), Teatro Coliseum (Barcelona), Teatro Lope de Vega (Sevilla), and some others.
Along his career he has accompanied several great artists: La negra, La Tana, Richard Bona, Marcos Flores, Alfonso Losa, Manuel Liñan, Bautista sisters, Chuchito Valdés, Javier Colina, or Farruquito, among others. He also writes and performs songs, such as «La Zapatera» by Juan Debel & Yerai Cortes, part of the show «FlamenKlorica» by Vanesa Coloma. He is indeed a lover of good music and creativity.
