BIOGRAPHY

At the age of 16, I started training as a luthier at the International Luthiery School of Antwerp (ILSA). After graduating three years later, I also studied the restoration of musical instruments. At that time, I started to work independently on various instruments and to experiment with different techniques and methods in my student apartment in Belgium.

In 2016 I worked as an apprentice with Master Stephen Hill in La Herradura, Granada. One year after that inspiring experience, I returned to La Herradura to continue working and learning with Stephen. While I was there, I came up with the idea of starting my own workshop in Spain.

In October 2017, shortly after obtaining my diploma in instrument restoration, I moved all my equipment and tools to Andalusia to create my own workshop in Dúrcal, Granada.
 About one year later I moved to the neighbouring village, Nigüelas and started an old house with the objective to install a new workshop there. By June 2019 the new workshop officially opened to the public.

Like many other guitar makers, I rely on Antonio De Torres’ method for the handcrafted construction of Classical and Flamenco guitars.With respect to the Spanish guitarmaking tradition, I make handcrafted guitars with a modern approach to the tradition. Each instrument has a unique sound and aesthetics.
