Artist History My father have been musician since 13 years old. I growed in TV & Recording Studios, and Live shows Back Stages. I saw the best artist and the best concerts available in Mexico. Additional to hes commercial career, my father is great playing Jazz. Actually, he was knowed in my country ad the Mexican Stan Gets. He played with Gene Kruppa, Satchmo, Stan Kenton, Clare Fischer.... all the mexican big band on the 50´s, all the national signers and most of the international shows that were available... just imagine 50 years in the industry. Chico Ofarrill invite him to go to New York, but he prefered to stay in Mexico to take care of his Mother.... With that experience, I started to learn Piano very young (six years old)... I am Engineer, and in 1980 starte to work with Midi. I were working as Industrial engineer, and playing around with several small groups: in jam sessions, with Rock Bands... etc. I wasn´t very motivated, because when you see Michel Camilo playing live, you really have to accept that you aren´t musician. This plus the pressure of my Father Big Talent, make me been around the music but not exclusively dedicated to it. But 6 years ago, I started to hear Techno... BINGO I loved the idea of electronic music, mixed with jazz.... Of course the acid jazz was making me crazy... In 1997 i started working with my father, on this concept, and we produced a very interesting product called Complot Cheché with Merlina´s LLT Singer. We started combining Latin Beats with House and Jazz Sax Tenor solos. We fail selling the product, because the mexican market was not ready to it, and there wasn´t MP3.com to show out. On that failure, i decide to work hard, and prepare my self to this moment. Now the band is really integrated, and we invite a lot of good singers and musician to work with us. The best thing now is that today i am not afraid of work with a big music monster like my father. I have developed my own skills, and its a complement of him: He is a tradicional great performer: you know: show him the partiture, count, and you are playing, or he can write a Big Band score in half morning.... I am a very good programmer, and love to produce with my keyboards and modules..... Today we are looking for a good company to sign.
