«After more than 25 years composing music for guitar in its more different forms, I have decided to build my own library of music to be licensed directly to companies, independent filmmakers, producers, video game companies and for advertising. I run my own company with the assistance of a team to give you the most personalized music written for the guitar you could find.»

the STORY

Over the past 25 years I’ve been writing music for the guitar in all its varied and beautiful combinations. In doing so, I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with some of the greatest guitarists, chamber groups, choirs, and orchestras from around the world. After drinking in all this experience, I’ve decided to create an original library specializing in the unlimited musical possibilities that the guitar has to offer. My catalogue of music encompasses a myriad of different styles, instrumentations, and lengths, and will always feature a real guitar, or plucked string instrument, playing a leading role in the music.

the WHY

Having a real instrument adds a more authentic, personal and intimate sound to your production. From the charming, expressive, and warm sound of the classical guitar, the vigor and passion of the flamenco guitar, to the delicate, nimble sound of the ukulele, or the endless sonic possibilities of the electric guitar; There are some many ways for these wonderful instruments to bring life to your project. To this end, I’ve recently begun using other plucked string instruments such as the charango, tenor guitar, mandolin, banjo, and acoustic bass.
