Biography and education
Music has been my language since childhood. I was raised in Washington State, traveling with my family through the western and southern United States, surrounded by the vibrant life of the road and the sound of my father’s conjunto band.
My work is dedicated to honoring the legacy of the accordion while exploring its endless possibilities. Whether composing, performing, or collaborating, I aim to tell stories that celebrate cultural connection, emotional depth, and the rhythm that lives in us all.
“My musical roots reach back to the beginnings of conjunto “It is my duty to act as a bridge between past and future.” Joel Guzman
