Since 1998, he began studying world folklore on his own, which involved the use of the violin, and since 2001 he founded the musical group LA MONTAÑA GRIS, mythological and fantasy music based on ancient folklore such as Celtic and Viking. The group has participated in the main Celtic music festivals in Latin America. They have released 5 albums, three international tours, a one-year trip through South America (2013), and a symphonic production in 2015 with which they traveled to Mexico.

Since 2019, he has focused his work on the relationship between music and the human mind, releasing a record called "7 Nocturnes to Conciliate Sleep" and a book titled "Music Unveiled," where he explains how music works by relating it to the first two years of human life, showing how music and humans are made of the same material.

I loved this Course 💖 The information is so interesting and I’ll always remember the Three Amigos when listening to music 🎶 I found the method used to control breathing was easy to follow and felt very natural. I soon slipped into this breathing technique without thinking about it too much and was surprised when I realised I was no longer counting my breaths. Thank you so much 🙏 Your style of teaching is so warm and welcoming and I enjoyed this Course so much 💙🎶

A wonderful and unique breathing course. A real standout amongst the basic breathwork mindset. The lessons are well organized and explained in a way that is not overwhelming or too academic. I did repeat several lesson multiple times and picked up different pieces each time. The music is a true gift and really makes this course shine. Thank you for this introduction to coherent breathing 🙏🏻
