Who I am
I am a Colombian professional drummer, percussionist and producer based in Cambridgeshire UK and Athens Greece. I am currently looking for bookings around the UK and the EU and online work. I am easy to work with, friendly, and I always maintain a high professional standard of performance and production. I speak perfect English and Spanish too.
Performance Styles
I am an experienced and confident performer in the following genres of music. Function party genres such as Rock (all eras), Pop (also latin pop), Funk, Disco, R&B, Blues, Ballads and Reggae (also Reggaeton). I also play latin music such as cuban and Colombian salsa, Cumbia and Bachata to a professional level. Also Jazz styles such as swing, bebop, and latin jazz. Lastly Musical theatre style (running backing tracks and click tracks) and Electronic music with beats (Dj with percussion).
Musical Experience
I studied popular music performance at BIMM London (British and Irish institute of Modern Music) and I have been working as a session musician, performer, producer and music tutor in the UK since graduating in 2021 (whilst having a side job too at BIMM Institute London). Before coming to the UK I worked as a drummer in Colombia for starting artist and my own bands. I have played multiple gigs for venues and private events since 2016, including musical theatre.
Instruments I play
The instruments I play are the drum-set and percussion such as bongos, congas, timbale, cajon, guiro, darbuka, djembe and small percussion instruments such as shakers, bells, chimes, and blocks of different types.
I also play hybrid drum set ups with the SPD-SX and use it to run backing tracks, loops and click tracks.

Music Production and Mixing
Other than performing, I am extremely passionate for music as a whole which is why I love producing and mixing. I have studied production and worked in Logic Pro and other DAWs since 2016 and I have never looked back. Today I continuously work in various projects as they come along, wether it is creating a song or jingle from beginning to radio ready, or wether it is editing audio for podcast or video (short form or long form), or mixing your covers or originals, creating a backing track etc… I will always deliver to the most professional level and in the agreed timeframe.
