[edit] Career

Being a 15-year-old teenager he began playing the guitar with an old Spanish guitar which was a gift from a teacher. He spent a time learning the basics until he decided that what he wanted play was the electric guitar, after seeing the guitarist Paco Ventura in a live-concert.

After an autodidact time and warking on some friend bands, he decided to receive classes to correct defects acquired, in this time was necessary to get classes with different-style guitarists, particularly Jazz and Blues, taking this influences the field of metal which is the José's passion.

At the age of 19 he decided to devote himself entirely to the guitar and begins to work in an orchestra, which allows him to continue paying his classes and to go to Madrid, to the 21st Century, directed by Jaume Pla, where for compatibility reasons was unable to finish the professional course, but he still keeps very good memories from that place.

After 4 years in the orchestra Arco Iris he decides to give a small leap joining in musical project called Wallada, merging Rock into Flamenco and stuffs like that. At the same time he created a band Trilogy, and of course kept taking guitar-classes by the brilliant guitarist Robert Rodrigo and attending to the masterclass given by Steve Morse, Richie Kotzen, Frank Gambale, etc.

He continued working in orchestras and very seriously with the band Trilogy, with the one he has edited an album called Semilla De Tiempo. He has been involved with numerous bands and tributes. Today, José is completely focused on his current band WarCry where he hopes to keep rising in this difficult world of music.
