With over 20 years behind the decks, I have had the opportunity to travel and share the stage with my idols such as Sasha, John Digweed, Green Velvet, Guy Gerber, Ellen Allien, Lee Burridge, Fairmont, PillowTalk, Eelke Kleijn, Quivver, My Favorite Robot, No Regular Play, Chris Fortier, Dave Seaman, Sandra Collins, among others. Some of them are now very good friends.
I was lined up over 2008 Music Dance Fest, the first festival in Mexico City with international DJs booked, where I shared the bill with artists such as Danny Tenaglia, Paul Van Dyk, Gui Boratto, Alexi Delano, Justin Roberston, Seb Fontaine, Second Sun, Flashbrothers and Andy Moore.
I was invited to travel as an Open act on tours with Tiësto for 3 years, Paul Van Dyk for 2 years, some with Chris Fortier, Jimmy Van M, Quivver, Micah Lukasewich, and 2 other tours with the infamous label Global Underground.
Being a DJ, I got to meet and live amazing things, like watching how the scene was born in cities like Guadalajara, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, and other places in Mexico.
