"Whatever you do, it's got to be funky..."

ABOUT ME

Compulsive traveler, manufacturer of melodies, mystery hunter, verbal vomiter of incoherences, passionate adventurer, fallacy preacher, meaning seeker, incurable tormented-being, unlimited dreamer, atypical lover, eternally curious, occasional vandal, enjoyer of simplicity, rummager of the unknown, exaggerated optimist, freelance investigator, lonely wanderer, permanent rambler, novice altitude jumper, word artisan, sincere composer, student of the transcendental, saloon entertainer, emotion diver, irremediable improviser, intense carpe-diemist...

I am mainly driven by curiosity. Music and adventures are my two great passions.
I truly believe that each second of our lives is unique and special. every instant that we are alive has an infinite potenital. plain and simple: we exist in this strange place for a fraction of the blink of an eye...and game over. it dosent matter where we are going, to which port we are sailing, its all about enjoying the ride. life is made of stories, and im commited to living some crazy and memorable ones... :)

Im a very laid back person, easy going, friendly, who really enjoys being alive and is easily amazed by the mysteries of this universe... i like the simple things, i don't need much to be happy. Ive always kind of improvised my way through life, living as intensely as i can.. trying to live everyday as if it were the last, making every second count...

my true passion is music. it rescues me and takes me to places that i would never imagine. I have a pretty cool band here in Uruguay called Croupier Funk, and I have recorded a couple solo albums and composed scores for film.

Music is my passion: 'without music life would be a mistake.'
