He was winner of the I Concurso de Interpretación Ramón Guzmán, Juventudes Musicales de España and Concurso Yamaha de Cuarteto de saxofones.

Ibert, A. Glazunov, H. P. Kyburz, F. Ibarrondo or D. Milhaud.
Seduced by the saxophone’s sounds and its technical characteristics, he soon engages in the search for new posibilities concerning sounds expressions through various aesthetic paradigms within XXI century written music. This new interest drives him to work on contemporary creation with composers such as Juan José Eslava, Ignacio Miró, François Rossé, Juan María Cué, Félix Ibarrondo, Jose María Sanchez Verdú, Alberto Posadas, Yair Klartag, Jesús Torres, Ramón Lazkano, Heinz Holliger, Beat Furrer or Thierry Alla.
He is member of Sigma Project, a quartet whose driving force is based on a strong commitment towards contemporary musical creation and research through their close collaboration with composers. With Sigma Project he has played in the most important Festivals for Contemporary Music and they gave concerts in Spain, France, Italy, Scotland, México and Switzerland.
Since 2014 he is saxophone professor at the Conservatorio Superior de Castilla y León.
