about sing, songwriting & composition
I’m a musician, singer-songwriter and Social Communicator working and developing projects around the creative industries (design, music, communications). I’ve performed in Venezuela’s musical and cultural scene for several years.
I currently work as a freelance consultant for clients in Venezuela and certain countries worldwide and, in parallel, I develop various independent musical projects in which I explore the fusion between genres of Venezuelan traditional music, Latin American music, and jazz elements, among others.
I also graduated from Santa Maria University in Caracas, Venezuela with a degree in social communications and specialized in printed media.
