Todo, sin perder el funk y el buen humor. Se inicio en la escena punk a mediados de los noventas, y desde ahí no ha parado, pisando todo tipo de formatos -banda,live solo,dj,audiovisual live,etc- y lenguajes estéticos de la música contemporánea (baterista en banda de punk,produciendo idm,techno,acid house, co-produciendo cumbia,etc) así como disjockeando lo que le venga en gana, de esta forma ha recorriendo el hemisferio llamado occidental, de costa a costa y de polo a polo, su música sin radicalismo ha puesto a Colombia en el mapa de festivales, fiestas, lugares autogestionados, centros culturales y todo tipo de clubs sin escandalo mediatico alguno.
