Biography

In 1974 he formed a band called "Nomady Soul", which later dissolved when La Torre was formed. He reached notoriety with this band with them being chosen as a group for the "BA Rock" festival in 1982, and doing international tours (USSR and Spain).

He was a judge on "Operación Triunfo" (2003, 2004 and 2005), Latin American Idol in 2009 and Cantando por un sueño in 2007, 2008 and 2011. In 2012, he was a judge on the Chilean version of Tu cara me suena, for Cantando 2012 (hosted by José María Listorti) and he was also a judge for Soñando por Cantar on Canal 13 (hosted by Mariano Iudica) with his wife Patricia Sosa, Alejandro Lerner and Valeria Lynch. That same year, he was part of a tribute to his former band called "Desde La Torre".

As a producer, he has worked with artists such as Patricia Sosa, Juan Carlos Baglietto, Pimpinela, Adrián Otero and Fabiana Cantilo. In 2010 he founded his company dedicated to the entertainment industry, called Mediamusic.
