He graduated from the National School of Music in Havana in 1994 and continued studies with Eduardo Isaac in Argentina; Luis Orlandini at the University of Santiago de Chile; and Alex Garrobe in Barcelona, Spain.
At age 20 he took first prize at the prestigious International Competition and Festival de Guitarra de La Habana, presided by Leo Brouwer. He has since won over 18 international competitions, including the 2010 Montreal International Competition.
