Biography
This Chilean-born songwriter, who lives in Silverlake, Los Angeles, once fell under the spell of history, international singers and the old world, or, as better said by a friend, by a triumvirate spell of Latin romanticism, Catholic mysticism and American urban reality, which inspired him to feverishly write music. His main goal was to be a songwriter, but he also had to learn to sing and effectively deliver his own songs, and that is how he began to perform. He started playing his music publicly in L.A.s cabaret open-mic scene (at places like the Vermont, the Gardenia and the Ten20), and not long afterwards began to get gigs. He has now played in some of L.A.'s best cabarets and night clubs, such as Bricktop's at the Parlour, M Bar, Lava Lounge, Tangier, 3 Of Clubs, Cabaret Voltaire, BMI Acoustic Lounge, The Empire Amusement Hall, Gengis Cohen and Room 5. In Fall 2005 his music was featured in the award winning musical Night Of The Black Cat, winner of the 2005 L.A. Music Award for Best Staged Musical, at the Edgemar Center for the Arts, and in early 2006 he self-released his first album, titled Promis. In July, 2006 he played his first international gig in Paris...the best experience of his life thus far...and his second album Promis 2 will be out in April, 2007.
