Bateria & Vibrafonista
Bio
I was born in Empordà in 1989, the grandson of a cobla musician, I had my first contact with the drums at the age of 14 with Toni Gadea at the Music School in my town, Palafrugell. Later, it was the pianist Lluís Escuadra who introduced me to the world of jazz: I then discovered something exciting that accompanies me even today.
In 2019 I created the Quartet Minvant jazz group with which we won the MusaE competition of Juventudes Musicales de España, performing at the Museo Nacional de Antropología in Madrid and doing several concerts around the country with the project Quartet Minvant plays Albeniz & Chick Corea.
I currently combine pedagogy (at the OAM Escola de Música de Sant Feliu de Guíxols and at the Escola de Música de Maçanet de la Selva) with professional activity with the projects Trio Tico, La Flama de Farners with the "Trencadís" project and Jordi Molina Quintet.
