At the age of 12 he got accepted into Vitoria-Gasteiz’s Jesus Guridi Music Conservatory in Spain, where he is originally from. There he studied classical music until the last two years of his musical education, when he switched to jazz. For almost two years, he was a regular performer at a bar in his native city, where he would play solo or with other artists.
