"Give me your track and I'll give it back to you — just with better bass."
I grew up in the Dominican Republic surrounded by music that moves in your chest before it reaches your ears. Merengue. Bachata. Latin rhythms that are less about notes and more about feel. I started playing bass at sixteen — not because someone told me to, but because I couldn't stop listening to what the bass was doing underneath everything else. It was the voice that held it all together. I wanted to be that voice. In 1993 I began formal studies at the Conservatorio Nacional de Música in Santo Domingo, where I studied double bass and electric bass for nearly a decade under Jacinto Roque Díaz Méndez.
In 2001 I moved to Spain to continue my training at the Conservatorio Profesional de Música Amaniel in Madrid. Two years later I was accepted into the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Salamanca — the highest level of conservatory education in Spain — where I completed my Diploma in Double Bass in 2009.
During those years I also trained with some of Europe's leading double bassists — masterclasses with Damián Arenas of the TVE Symphony Orchestra, Philipp Stubenrauch of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, and Andrew Ackerman of the Austria Barock Academy, among others.
After graduating I joined the Academy Symphony Orchestra of the Teatro Real de Madrid — the training orchestra of one of Europe's most prestigious opera houses — where I played double bass from 2009 to 2011, performing opera productions including Viaggio a Reims and La Vera Costanza.
In 2010 I performed as a substitute double bassist with the main Symphonieorchester Teatro Real de Madrid, playing Brahms Symphony No. 2 and Mozart's Piano Concerto. Those nights taught me what it means to be completely present in service of the music — nothing else matters on that stage.
I moved to Germany in 2014 and built something I'd always wanted: a professional home studio where I could record for artists anywhere in the world. A Neve preamp. A wall of compressors.
Seven basses, each chosen for a different reason. And the freedom to work across every genre I love — jazz, classical, Latin, rock, pop, film.
Today I record remotely for artists and producers in Europe, I also teach double bass and electric bass across the Frankfurt region, combined with Live performances. Every project is different. The goal is always the same — to give your music exactly the bass line it needs. No more. No less.
