My Music
My sound, in progress and in motion.
Mi Debilidad
“Mi Debilidad” is a personal exploration of emotional vulnerability wrapped in the language of the classic bolero. Inspired by the voices and arrangements of artists like Celia Cruz and Benny Moré, I wanted to honor the drama and intimacy of that era while bringing it into conversation with modern textures and harmonies.
​
Musically, the track blends warm Rhodes chords, ambient pads reminiscent of James Blake, and a Moog bass that adds subtle tension and depth. A jazz-influenced saxophone solo—evoking the sound of Cannonball Adderley—ties everything together, paying tribute to the timeless connection between bolero and jazz.
​
The lyrics speak to the quiet aftermath of love: locked doors, familiar clothes, and the quiet weight of unanswered questions. It’s about the moment where longing and reality meet.
​
The song is accompanied by a video filmed in New York City, a city that has deeply inspired this project and my current creative path. The video reflects the emotional journey of the song—searching for something lost in the echoes of memory and the streets of a place that always feels just a little out of reach.
​
“Mi Debilidad” lives in the intersection of nostalgia and innovation. It’s a tribute to the old, told with the tools of the new.
Que miedo estar solo.
“Qué Miedo Estar Solo” is my love letter to salsa—rooted in tradition, but shaped by my own story. This song was born in New York City, inspired by legends like Ray Barretto and Roberto Roena, and built around the energy of son montuno. It’s got everything I love about classic salsa: driving percussion, bold horns, and that rhythm that moves you—body and soul.
​
But beyond the groove, this track is personal. It’s about the fear of being alone, the emotional cycles we get caught in, and the quiet thoughts we don’t usually say out loud in salsa. Instead of telling a story in the usual way, I wanted this song to feel more like a confession—intimate, honest, and vulnerable.
​
The video, filmed here in New York, brings that same contrast to life. It’s classic and modern, urban and tropical—a reflection of the world I live in and the music I grew up on.
​
“Qué Miedo Estar Solo” isn’t just about looking back—it’s about taking what I’ve inherited and making it mine. It’s salsa with a twist, reimagined through my own lens.
Despistado
“Despistado” is one of those songs that feels like summer—bright, fun, and a little bit dizzy. It’s got funky strings, catchy trumpet hooks, and that retro-pop energy I love, with a touch of Latin melody that makes it mine.
​
At first listen, it sounds like a playful dance track—but underneath, it’s a love song about obsession. The kind where you start noticing every little thing about someone, changing your habits, getting lost in them without even realizing it. That feeling of being despistado—absentminded, distracted, but completely in it.
​
I wanted the production to match that emotion: upbeat and colorful, but with a deeper pull. There’s movement, but there’s also sincerity. Influences like Dua Lipa are definitely in the mix, but filtered through my lens—warm, romantic, and a little nostalgic.
​
To me, “Despistado” is a song to sing out loud, dance to without thinking, and maybe cry to later. It’s joy, longing, and rhythm all wrapped into one.
Poquito
“Un Poquito” is where old-school salsa meets Latin hip-hop—with a little heat, a lot of groove, and a touch of attitude. Inspired by icons like El Gran Combo, I wanted to take that classic flavor and flip it with modern production: synths, basslines, and a killer feature from Mesalina that brings the edge.
​
The story? It’s about her—the kind of woman who does her own thing, owns every room, and leaves you completely hooked. It’s flirty, bold, and just a little wild. There’s freedom in it. Fantasy too.
​
We shot the video in La Chocolatera, Salinas, where the coast and sunlight matched the vibe perfectly—colorful, vibrant, and alive with movement. I wanted it to feel like what the song is: a celebration of rhythm, confidence, and summer connection.
​
“Un Poquito” is more than just a track—it’s meant to be felt on your skin, danced barefoot, played loud. It’s a reminder to follow the feeling and move with it.
Lo Que Tenía
“Lo Que Tenía” is one of the most personal songs I’ve written. It came from a place of deep reflection—a moment where I had to release what I was holding onto, whether it was pain, love, or old versions of myself.
​
The track blends Latin soul and flamenco textures with ambient, minimal production. I was inspired by artists like James Blake, where space and silence carry just as much weight as sound. The percussion is subtle, the mood introspective—like a memory fading in slow motion.
​
Lyrically, it’s about grief, but also about grace. About starting over when you don’t feel ready, and choosing to move forward anyway. It’s not loud—it sits with you. It lingers.
​
“Lo Que Tenía” is a quiet offering for anyone learning to let go—with empty hands, and an open heart.
Condena
“Condena” was the first song I released after moving to New York, and it’s one that really defined where I’m headed musically. It blends reggaetón and hip-hop rhythms with softer textures—bossa nova guitar, ambient drums, and those dreamy, atmospheric sounds I’ve always loved. Think James Blake meets Latin club, but in slow motion.
​
Lyrically, it’s a confession. It’s about giving in completely to someone—even when you know it’s a bad idea. That tension between desire and consequence, dependence and power, runs through the whole song. The flow is hypnotic, meant to pull you under.
​
“Condena” is late-night music. It’s made for smoky rooms, quiet obsessions, and cities that never sleep. For me, it’s not just a track—it’s a statement. A way of saying: this is who I am, and this is where I’m going.
Loco
“Loco” was a turning point for me as a songwriter. It’s raw, honest, and unapologetically emotional. I leaned into everything I love—classic salsa percussion, smooth reggaetón bounce, and trumpet lines that pull you in right away.
​
The groove is confident and romantic, but underneath, it’s about obsession—the kind of love that takes over, where you lose yourself completely. It’s vulnerable, even a little messy, and I didn’t want to hold any of that back.
​
This song isn’t just about being in love—it’s about surrendering to it, fully. Letting go of pride, of control, of anything that keeps you guarded. “Loco” is my way of saying: here I am, and this is how it feels.
​
Dance to it, feel it, live it—no filters.
Solo
“Solo” was the first song I released as a solo artist, and it still feels like the foundation of everything I do. I wrote, produced, and recorded it back in 2020, blending hip-hop beats with Santana-inspired guitars and the kind of Latin soul I grew up with.
​
It’s raw and emotional—a mix of vulnerability and rhythm. Lyrically, it’s about emotional chaos and desire, about that tug-of-war between wanting connection and needing solitude. There’s a lot of fear in it, but also honesty.
​
This track was the starting point of my sound: genre-blending, personal, and unapologetically independent. “Solo” is where I found my voice—and started building the world I wanted to create.
