From a very young age, the urgent need to express myself creatively was born in me, which is why I started composing with my guitar various melodies, rhythms and poetic lyrics and later
perform them in front of the public. This was a fact that from the beginning meant the
purest and most honest way of expressing the different feelings that inhabit my soul and
this way I share with you my deepest feeling as a human being leaving total and
inevitably exposed my vulnerability to the naked.
