My name is Gus and I am Uruguayan jazz drummer of 30 years old.
I ´m traveling to USA looking for making music, playing with new composers or recording something and study with big guys in LA and NY.

I think important to travel to know different cultures, to change air, and the most important thing for me that is learn from everyone and develop at a personal level.

Mision; share, inspiring.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Javier; I Walked With two friends 8 km across the beach at midnight with heavy backpacks, this journey was on the east coast of Uruguay, from a town called Valizas to Cabo Polonio another call, this journey is well known in our country for its history and its mysticism.

Other; study my career in another country, but living in mine, so I had to travel every week from one country to another for 3 years to asist to classes.
One of those days I had to do everything to enter a show of Bela Fleck & the Flecktones at the Grand Rex theater in Buenos Aires, Argentina. But finally I get from the show 1 hour before having to take the boat to return to Uruguay, missing 15 min left the theater and not find a cab I had to run to the port ... and reach up to the huge ship almost jumping to the gate ... It was a memorable day where every second, every person, every musical note, each run was worthwhile.
Come alone to USA, and travel knowing all California and now New York...
