About
Costa Rican DJ and producer.
Based between Barcelona, Spain & Nosara, Costa Rica. House at the core, with deep, afro and indie dance around it.
He grew up in a family of musicians and took his first music lessons at four. At 13 he found the decks and never left: from neighborhood parties in San José to clubs in Barcelona, Vienna, MedellÃn and Tulum.
