About Me

I'm currently based in Monterrey, Mexico. Born and raised Mexican. I have an university degree in International Business. I speak English, Spanish, Italian and I'm currently learning french.

I enjoy food and drinks, even better if it comes with a good conversation. I love music, arts, traveling (ofc) and helping people.

I was a volunteer for a film festival for 4 years, and I started being a tourist guide for film directors in my hometown, then I started hosting touring bands at my place and showing them around, then all of a sudden I started being a music promoter and booking shows with international artists in many cities of Mexico. I could say that is my second job but it's also my hobbie. I've been doing that for 4 years now, and I have worked with over 40 international bands + helping booking a showcase during SXSW with talent from the UK, Mexico, USA and South America.

I really enjoy walks and meeting new people, I'm easy going a very open minded individual. Very respectful about everything. I like doing playlists for my friends, always open for new music. Any kind is good. Been into french indie pop a lot in the past couple of months. Big fan of analog photography, coffee, beer and wine.

I travel very often to Austin Texas for music events, and I have traveled to many many parts in the USA and Mexico. Guadalajara Mexico, Monterrey Mexico, Austin Texas and Portland Oregon are my favorite spots in North America. Looking forward to visit Montreal Canada this year as well. I enjoy outdoors in the morning and pub crawls in the evening.
