Although he was born in Barcelona in the 60s, he has roots in the area of Empordá. Since he was a child he felt attracted to music, tormenting his parents and neighbours on his guitars with imitations of his pop and rock idols. Like many teenagers, he went through phases of hard-rock and progressive rock until he finally discovered the calming nature of folk and in particular that of Irish traditional music. Like many others, he began by playing bodhrán and whistle until he deduced from the looks from his fellow musicians that neither were instruments to be played for hours on end without trying the patience of the listener.As he felt a great fascination for the sweet sound of the wooden flute, he decided to take the plunge and learn yet again, a new instrument.
Many years and many sessions later, he remains faithful to his flute though he also plays the other two instruments on occasion.
