Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

I have toured with Canadian guitarist Jesse Cook where we have played to 100,000 people at festivals. Recently I performed with the National Ballet of Canada in "Don Quijote" for the camp fire scene at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto.

I enjoy playing all events - whether its at a show in a theatre, in a restaurant, private functions (weddings, showers, corporate events etc...)


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started performing with flamenco dance companies in the 1990's and then gradually started playing solo gigs and in various configurations with musicians from other genres (indian tabla, classical cello and violin, etc...).

I have been strongly influenced by Paco de Lucia for the longest time and more recently by Diego del Morao and Antonio Rey.


How far will you travel for a gig.

I am based in Vaughan Ontario and have travelled as far as London, Niagara Falls, Ottawa and Parry Sound for private events.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

For weddings, birthdays or other private functions I normally arrive at least half an hour before performance to set up amplifier. I play a maximum of 45 minute sets per hour for whatever time frame is required (1 hour to 5 hours). There is no minimum time that I play but I do charge my minimum rate for the first hour.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, as long there is access to power, not below 18 Celsius and it is in a covered area in case of rain.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Mostly a set repertoire (my original compositions which can be listened to on spotify) but special requests can be learned if its within my capabilities.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Nice spanish atmosphere.
