Productor, percusionista, DJ digital y de vinilos, con más de 10 años en los escenarios de argentina y latinoamérica, fusiona con su estilo único todo tipo de ritmos, con debilidad por la música de raíz africana, beats tropicales y bass music. Con mas de 6 lanzamientos ya, se encuentra próximo a lanzar su segundo LP “Kambara’ Angá” (junto a un live act) un sincretismo perfecto entre música electrónica y folclore contemporáneo motivado por su búsqueda de visibilizar la influencia y cultura afro en Argentina. A través de un estilo cercano al downtempo, propone un viaje de texturas sonoras con invitadas como Miriam Gomes (referente de afro-argentinos caboberdeanos) y Nancla (cantante y compositora colombiana).
