STORIES

Unique moments with amazing people

Since my daughter and Mike’s daughter are pretty similar, one day I decided to wrote him telling that and how much I admired his work with Alejandro Sanz, attached to the text I sent him a video of myself playing the drums. To my surprise he answered me telling me how well the sound of the video was. Back in 2010 while he was on tour with Alejandro Sanz, we met after a concert and we chat for a while, I met his daughter and wife, who is the chorus girl of Alicia Keys as well. From that moment we keep a friendship that I care about.

Back in 2012 I wrote a massage on facebook to Gerald, telling him how much influence his work had on myself as a drummer musician, by that time I didn’t know we would become friends. A few months later I was blessed with the opportunity of going to Nanm Show at Anaheim California, that was the first time I met him, to my surprise he already considered myself his friend from Venezuela, as he told me while I asked him for a picture. The connection between both was as if we were catching up with an old friend, since that time we have kept our friendship, one that is pretty significant for me, not only because of his musical journey, but for all the support he has gave me since that very first time we met. This is a story that could happened only through my Lord
