Juan A.

Hi. My name is Juan. 35 years old. Drummer graduated from Berklee College of Music. I have Plenty of experience recording, playing live and touring. I grew up in Medellin, Colombia. started playing drums when I was 12. Participated in almost all the festivals and contests in my home town with my high school band. Recorded with bassist virtuoso Federico Lozano (Once offered the shakira gig back in the 90's) in 1998 "Hashis Amarillo" and "Colino".

Touring with Federico throughout Colombia and some parts of South America. In 1999 got offered to play with "Radio Burdel"..... Pop band from Medellin. In 2001 started playing with Federico Lopez (aterciopelados' producer-engineer) until 2003 when I left Colombia to come to the U.S. Once in Miami, I started playing with "Santos Renuentes", "Phoenix/Nebulin" and "Mongo", among others.

I toured with P/N a lot, and recorded with Mongo. In 2006, left Miami and went to live in Boston, MA. That same year, I applied to Berklee and got accepted for the spring 2007. While in Boston, played with mainly two bands: "The Last Front" (With 2 astronomers from Boston University), and "Muy Cansado" (Toured with them for the most part of 2008, for their 1st album "Stars and Garthers"). Other projects were bands from berklee, and experimental gigs with friends from Japan, US, India, and Argentina.

I'm currently playing with The Vincent Raffard band (Trumpet player from France) and "A silent structure" (Experimental-ambient band).
