I am an Argentinian-born, Brooklyn-based Latin Grammy Award-nominated multidisciplinary artist. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with leading artists in the audio-visual industry, performing at top venues and festivals across the U.S., Europe, and Latin America. My multimedia projects have been featured in prominent media outlets, including Rolling Stone Magazine, Vice, the Cannes Film Festival, and CUNY, among others.

As a performer, I have graced the stage in more than 700 live shows, sharing the spotlight with celebrated artists such as Coldplay, Jarvis Cocker, Radiohead, Depeche Mode, Lil Dick, Joe Blaney, Tall Juan, and Juan Wauters. My work in music has seen me compose, produce, and record five studio albums, collaborating with esteemed producers like Mario Caldato Jr. (Beastie Boys, Jack Johnson) and Peter Mew (Pink Floyd, The Beatles).

Sound

My passion for music naturally extended into the world of sound design, where I apply my expertise to recording and composing for animation, film, and TV. I’ve worked with brands such as Hulu [Gold Winner for Brand Identity, 2023 Promax Awards], [Craft-Best Use of Animation, 2023 Webby Awards], Hermes, L’Officiel, and Andes Beer. I’ve also collaborated with renowned animators like Moi Yama (Japan) and Dante Zaballa (Argentina). In 2024, I participated in the IN-TransIT campaign for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in New York, earning two Cannes Film Festival awards. Currently, I’m collaborating with agencies and non-profits on A/V projects for advertising and film, including work with The World Around.

In collaboration with acclaimed illustrator Pepita Sandwich, we created a musical album inspired by her book Las Mujeres Mueven Montañas, published by Random House in Argentina and Spain. Our work extended into her short films, including Hola Tesoro (selected for the BitBang Animation Festival 2023), Internal Monologue (selected for the Sweat EyeBall Animation Festival 2021), and Daydreamer. We also created an A/V activation for her art installation “The Crying Room,” exhibited in Spain and New York at the Meliá Hotels.

In 2018, I developed the podcasts Pijama Party and Casi Brujas, with Pijama Party being selected as Best International Podcast by Spreaker.com. I also contributed to sound design for Santiago Charriere’s documentary Poner al Rock de Moda, which won the Audience Prize at the Argentine BAFICI Film Festival and screened in Argentina, Mexico, and England. Later, I designed the sound for Charriere’s short film La Ciudad de Jobino, showcased at festivals in Italy, England, and Argentina.

Video

My deep understanding of the interplay between sound and video has allowed me to cultivate a unique vision in the visual arts. I have worked as DOP with several bands, including El Kuelgue, Banda de Turistas, Juan Wauters and Tall Juan, creating custom video & videolyrics. My involvement in the documentary Poner el Rock de Moda also included filming the European tour for Banda de Turistas in 8mm and serving as 1st AC on set.

In 2023, I met Jon Lynn, whom I consider my mentor in the NYS area, and together we worked on high-profile projects for prestigious brands such as Genesis House and major events like NYC Anime 24. My recent work includes collaborations with director Matthew Farrell (Turtle Bay Records VideoClip, Scotch & Soda Joe Jonas Campaign) and ongoing contributions as part of the filming team for Plural.co, working on projects for The Or Foundation, Johnnie Walker, and more.
