Venezuela → Argentina · 2009 → today

Before producing artists, I was an artist.

I learned music from the inside: writing, recording, forming groups and building spaces with whatever we had. The Lycans wasn’t my first attempt; it’s the evolution of that whole journey.

The journey

Venezuela

Fusión Activa

First songs in front of the mic with Ichigo and Erreache, as Momo El Obelisco. Music out of necessity, without perfect infrastructure.

Venezuela → Buenos Aires

From El Imperio to The Lycans

I left behind Venezuela and the home studio where El Imperio was born. In Buenos Aires I started over: in 2016 I completed my training in Music and Record Production, and the project became The Lycans. What used to be my space to create became a place to build with other artists: production, creative direction and artist development.

Today

Back to The Lycans

I returned to my home studio, The Lycans, with a broader vision: the artistic, the technical and the business side in one ecosystem of production and development.

That whole journey is now a method.

An artist’s perspective

I know what it means to defend your own identity.

Technical judgment

Production, recording, mixing and direction with intention.

Management experience

Teams, processes and projects built from scratch.

Full-picture development

I shape the vision behind the song, not just the song.

I produce with you, not for you.
