I was born in 1973 in Lima, Peru, and began my music studies at the early age of five. I started taking piano lessons when I was 9 and by the age of 17 I had already performed many times in recitals and several school activities.

In 1991 I entered the University of Lima and enrolled in the undergraduate program of Systems Engineering. It was at this time that I made my first composition attempts.

In July of 1997 I enrolled in a short program of master classes given in Lima by Russian teachers from the Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory of Saint Petersburg, Russia. Among those teachers was Russian composer Vladislav A. Uspensky, a former student of Dmitri Shostakovich, who encouraged me to pursue the carreer of Music Composition.

In February of 1998 I traveled to Saint Petersburg, Russia, where I again enrolled in a program of master classes with Maestro Uspensky. After returning to Lima I was commissioned to compose the music for a set up of the theater play The Crucible.

In 2001 I was accepted at the National Conservatory of Music in the program of Music Composition, to study with Peruvian composer Jose Sosaya, who had studied with Yoshihisa Taira at the Graduate Program of Composition of the École Normale de Musique de Paris.

In 2004 my work A-nir for mixed choir won the Vanguard Premieres Choral Composition Contest, sponsored by Vanguard Voices, at Dearborn, Michigan, USA.

I have composed the music for the Peruvian films The Trial (2005), Dragons: Destiny of Fire (2006) and La Gran Sangre (2007).

Some of my compositions include a wind octet, a string quartet, an orchestral piece called Icarus, the music for a theatrical adaptation of the novel The Portrait of Dorian Gray and a cantata based on a sumerian text from the second millennium B.C.
