In 2016, as he began integrating the Handpan into his musical experiments, his talent for melodic composition blossomed.

He graduated in piano from the conservatory in 2011, followed by a degree in percussion instruments in 2016. His fascination with rhythm and percussion has always been dominant, until he received his first handpan – an instrument that perfectly blends melody and rhythm, aspects he had previously studied separately on piano, drums, and percussion. He decided to channel these elements into this wonderful instrument, integrating and adapting all the techniques and strategies he had learned during his training at the conservatories for "Higher Artistic and Musical Education" into his handpan playing. This knowledge and his exceptional musical background make his handpan teaching unique and valuable.
