I'm a bilingual writer and composer from Panama. Growing up in Panama has exposed me to a melting pot of musical styles, thanks to the diverse range of music that arrives through the Panama Canal on ships from all over the world. This cultural exchange brings not only music but also fashion, products, and much more. It's fascinating to see how the world converges in Panama, influencing and enriching our local culture.

It wasn't really a conscious decision I made, it just sort of fell into place. I started out by listening, then transitioned into DJing. I've been writing for as long as I can remember, and my curiosity about producing just never waned after that.
I'm particularly attuned to the finer points, such as word selection, song openings and closings, and pronunciation. These details really catch my interest!
