The Return to my first demos, 2008

In January, I met Uruguayan guitarist Sebastian Crispo and we began writing together. In February, with a set of originals to try out, we hit the open mike scene in Barcelona and later started playing shows under the band name, The Return.

In May, I met New York producer Dave Bianchi, and from his advice was inspired to start playing the guitar and writing my own music.

In October, I put together jazz, blues and folk covers band, The Misbehavers, with Sebastian Crispo on guitar, Stefano Pompilio on double bass and Felipe Greene on drums. We played our first show together that month in Tornasol.

In November, I was invited to a Voll Damm Jazz Festival after party, hosted by Jordi Pujol from Fresh Sounds Records. I met a number of incredible musicians there including trumpet player, Avishai Cohen and double bass player, Giulia Valle.

In December, I recorded a three song demo produced by Dave Bianchi with Giulia Valle on double bass, Oriol Roca on drums, Bernat Font on rhodes and keyboard and Sasha Agranov on cello.
