Are you completly satisfied about your last work?
Yes, the truth is that I am very satisfied with my new album. Evidently, as the months go by I can see things that could be improve, but I made it the best I could in this moment. I think that the recordings are different stages and when you finish them you have to go to another one.
Wich are the most important ispiration for doing this new album?
My unique inspiration is the necesity of making my own music with the instrument that I love. Really these are not good times for this kind of music and simply what I do is because this is my way of expressing myself.
Is There some others artists that you think important to reccomend us?
I could reccomend you a lot of artists that are important to me. In my apprenticeship I had several stages where I listened rock, jazz, funk, heavy, etc... then I could reccomend artists as Satriani,80´s and 90´s guitar players Scott Henderson, Andy Timmons, SRV,Joe Pass, Mike Stern, Jeff Beck, etc... These are my influences and these are my reccomendations.
Are there some others projects for the your future?
In this right moments and until mid October will I be on tour with a spanish pop singer very famous in Spain named "Chenoa" and this is my priority actually. Next on winter I will start to play my music with my trio. Actually I earn my life playing on live and recording to several artists, and when I have some free time and songs, I record my own music.
Is there something in your album that you don't like enough?
In general, I am very happy with the whole record, more over, this is a big step very important in my career because I could count with musicians like Simon Phillips (drums) and Melvin Lee (bass), and this collaboration is very important to me. There are always things that can be improved but luckily it is already recorded and I would have to make a new album in the future not to commit the same errors.
