Concert Artist | private event & wedding Guitarist

 

Hello! I’m a Spanish Guitarist, based in Chicago. For the last two decades I’ve specialized in Spanish Guitar. I’ve performed well over 1,000 concerts, weddings and luxury events. I’ve loved every minute of this musical journey and am grateful that I get to entertain people for a living. Sometimes my role is to take the audience on a journey and transport them during a concert, while other times my role is to create a unique vibe and atmosphere for my clients at private events. I enjoy both ends of the spectrum as a performer. I not only play traditional Spanish Guitar classics, but I love adapting popular music into my repertoire. It’s always fun to see peoples reactions when they hear some of their current favorite songs, played instrumentally on a Spanish Guitar with a new twist.

What are my passions…


I have a passion for traveling the world, both as a performer and also with my family any chance we can get away. As an artist, performing for different communities around the world, and truly connecting with people through music is a blessing. That’s why international touring and destination weddings and events have always been my favorite type of events. Besides touring with my solo artistry, I’ve also had the privilege to go on tour with Ensemble Español Spanish Dance Theatre and Guitarra Azul.

Television/Commercial Clients Include:

FOX (Empire Show), NBC (Chicago Med Show), Subway (Coco Movie Commercial), J.P. Morgan Chase Bank (Commercial), Glade (Commercial), PotBelly (Commercial), Choose Chicago (Commercial)

Mission and my process

My mission is to share my unique artistry and create a vibe and emotion that only my live performances can create. I love making your event an unforgettable experience for you and your guests! And I do this by accommodating to your event and vision. This is first done by deciding on what type of line up is right for the event. Second, I accommodate my repertoire to fit the desired mood. Sometimes clients want background music and sometimes they want a featured concert, and I’m ok with either type of request. I’m passionate about performing for all types of events, including public/private concerts, school performance lectures, corporate events, weddings, and any other type of luxury events.
No matter how big or small of an event, I want to make your event an unforgettable one with outstanding live music entertainment that will add to the vibe and flavor of the night!

I want to thank you for making Downtown Oak Park’s 1st annual Winter Fest such a huge success. This event would not have been the success it was without you. I will most definitely hire you again for our upcoming events.   I heard nothing but positive, enthusiastic, and wonderful comments about the entertainment so thank you again for doing such an amazing job entertaining our community.

You and the band were truly amazing and I can’t thank you enough for the job that you did. When the power went out, the guys just kept on playing. It was so romantic ... lit by candle light.  When it was time for the 1st dance and we still didn’t have power, in the smaller tent. They started playing Besame Mucho and the bride and groom had the most romantic 1st dance that I have ever seen.
Your guys were truly amazing and the hit of the wedding.
Thanks so much to you all ...

Thank you once again for your service in providing the entertainment for my wine-tasting reception.  My guests were delighted and captivated by the performance of the Flamingo dancers, who added art, culture, beauty, charm, and excitement to the event.  And the accompaniment of acoustic guitarist David Chiriboga was the crowning touch.  It is evident that David is an expert musician in the field of Spanish Guitar.  Virtually everyone commented on how beautiful he sounded. 
Thanks to all for making my party a successful and most memorable event. 

Sincerely,

We LOVED having you come and perform!  It was amazing!!  I will pass the information along about the dance lessons.  We also have several 8th grade boys who are interested in guitar lessons and our administration wants to contact you about possibly coming to the school for a lesson.  
Thank you again, everyone really enjoyed it!!!
