I was touched by the magic of music. My way to communicate was through my guitar and music.
Music is a really powerful way for me to catalyze all kinds of things. It's always been the cure. Through music, I've healed all the wounds I've had and celebrated all the good things in life. Through music, I turn things, good or bad, into energy.
I'm not more than a musician that enjoys what he does and a Colombian that dreams and fights for peace in his country.
