PERRÍSIMAS TOUR

I was the drummer for a joint tour called Perrísimas, which featured two of Mexico’s biggest Latina artists Alejandra Guzman and Paulina Rubio. The band was great, and we had a blast. Albert Menendez (keys), Jacin Nagao (guitar/sax), Christian Mendoza (guitar, vox), Luis Guzman (bass), Adella Rudnizki (guitar), and Daniela Hernandez (vocals).

MORRISSEY

In August 2021, I was asked to join Morrissey’s band. The ensemble consists of Jesse Tobias (guitar), Alain Whyte (guitar), Gustavo Manzur (keys), and Juan Galeano (bass). We have since toured both the US and Europe, and we’re looking forward to recording a new album of songs soon. I consider Morrissey to be one of the greatest lyricists of all time. His music (both solo and with The Smiths) has had a massive influence on me.
