A versatile and inquisitive musician, he is also a certified practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

Having lived for many years in the Netherlands and developed an international career, he approaches artistic work as a space for transmission, dialogue and humanistic values. His projects reflect a strong interest in the spiritual dimension of music and the encounter between cultures and traditions.

Through his ensemble La Chambre, his artistic direction embraces a wide range of aesthetics, combining early music and traditional repertoire with modern and contemporary works from all over the world. This approach seeks to create meaningful connections between artistic disciplines, cultural traditions and historical contexts.
