Born in Mexico City, at the young age of eleven, I became an exchange student to the United States as part of a three-year program, and fell in love with this country.
At the age of nine, my mother gave me a guitar as a birthday present.
I was so overtaken by this beautiful instrument and started to learn how to play it, as well as the piano from my grandmother's old “pianola.”
My first composition was at the age ten. I remember I was invited to a neighbor's party. I didn't have anything to give her, so I wrote a song as a gift. It was a big hit with everyone who heard me play it for her, and it was at that very moment when I knew…. this is what I wanted to do with my life, write songs!
I returned to the United States as a student at UTD and later became the Director of the Hispanic division for TM Century in Dallas, (The largest jingle company in the world.)
I was in charge of composing and arranging new Spanish jingles for the Latin market. Not long afterward, I created my own company, AT Productions, dedicated to producing radio/television commercials, tv shows, infomercials and jingles.
My biggest passion has always been writing songs and lyrics.
I produced, "Recuerdos," my first album, with the desire to share my music with the world.
