I studied music at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, where I earned a B.A. in Music in 2003. I later earned a Master's in Arts and Technology from Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden, in 2008. I was awarded the Carolina Oramas Scholarship for Artists from Colombia’s ICETEX and the Stint Scholarship for Academic Excellence from the Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation, among others.

 

My works have been performed in Latin America, Europe, and the United States and I have worked as a composer, guitarist, and professor at various Colombian universities. My works span a broad spectrum, including solo pieces, chamber music, multimedia, rock, pop, electronic, and works created from algorithms, and have been published in albums such as: Compositores Javerianos II - Música para guitarra (2005), Matik-Matik compilation (2011), Ensamble Als Eco - Philip Glass (2013), Trip Trip Trip - Qué cosa tan seria (2014), Trip Trip Trip - Como quien oye llover (2017), Alejandro Zuluaga - Meditaciones para Radio (2019), Hagudo - Animales Extraños (2021) and Vox Terra - Ventanas Vol. 1 (2021).

 

As a performer I have participated in contemporary music premieres, soundtrack recordings, live concerts, and record productions. In the field of education, I have worked as a professor of composition, theory, performance, and technology at the Universidad Javeriana and the Universidad de Cundinamarca.

 

I see art as a profound expression of the spirit that allows us to exalt human existence.
