my background is in blues, rock, metal and ambient music. ive always loved playing guitar though, and used to practice electric as obsessively as i do now with flamenco. in the past my strongest point has always been improv (most of my gigs have been as a session guitarist with other musicians) i had always been a fan of paco de lucia, and used to watch flamenco video's on youtube, and saw it as a very challenging form of guitar, that i loved the sound of and i really enjoy the singers and dancers it wasnt until i met some people studying flamenco, and started to learn about the history, and about things like compas and different palos. a lot of what i have learned about flamenco culture, and history has also drawn me in
