KINO invites Music Selectors
Since September 2022, I manage the music program for KINO. Starting this September, KINO’s foyer and bar will be hosting some of the finest upcoming artists and selectors from Rotterdam and beyond.
Every other Friday, from 20:30 to 00:30 expect a four-hour musical journey: from Jazz, Soul and World to Funk, Disco and Boogie and everything in between. My goal is to deliver an interesting and varied program, establishing the right atmosphere for people to enjoy a nice drink or chat with friends as well as discover new music and artists.
Music in Cinema Podcast
Music in Cinema is a new podcast that explores songs and scores used in cinema. Each episode features a special guest and an in-detail discussion on 7 tracks and films.
Territories Events
In June 2022 I started a new series of events: Territories. For each edition of Territories, I will choose a different country and fly in two upcoming DJs to play B2B with two local artists.
Territories will offer interesting and unique lineups with both familiar and new names. It will also establish new connections between artists from different countries, leading to future projects.

Producer TV Series Episode
I participated as a producer on the fourth episode of MAUS (an Open Rotterdam TV Show by directors Chris de Krijger and Sven Peetoom, both of whom have had short films featured at the Rotterdam International Film Festival). My contribution involved creating and organizing the stage for an «illegal party» scene.
Alone?
During the first Covid quarantine in the Netherlands, I directed a short suspense film. The project was selected by a film festival in Puerto Rico, ENFOQUE Unidos Short Film Competition.

Every day is Friday
Every day is Friday was an online platform and magazine designed to promote upcoming talent from the Dutch music scene.
Over the three years that the project has been running we have featured over 100 artists. We have created a series of video interviews and short reports; hosted shows at radio stations such as DUBLAB, Operator, and Alhara; published a monthly podcast; curated parties blending music and art at well-known venues around the Netherlands; and launched the Artist of the Month project.
Short Movie Night
In 2019/20 I ran the monthly Short Movie Night at Hostel Room Rotterdam: each month I would select 5 short films from upcoming Dutch film directors, show them on the big screen, and then conduct a Q&A session with the audience.

Video reports homeless people Sevilla
In 2015 I collaborated with the NGO La Carpa recording several audiovisual projects. One of these short reports consisted on documenting a night of a homeless person in Seville. After publishing the report, we managed to interest Zatu Rey, from the well-known Sevillian rap group SFDK, who came to visit the homeless camp.

Interviews
In 2015 I produced a series of short reports and interviews on general topics; these shorts
soon evolved into pieces on more serious subjects such as Spanish current affairs and politics. My short report on how a large part of Spanish society does not understand the difference between Prime Minister and Head of State (triggered by the Government´s announcement that they were going to introduce an exam for those wishing to obtain
Spanish nationality) received numerous compliments (including one from Spain’s
leading philosopher).
100 segundos que cambiarán tu forma de pensar
In August 2015, I uploaded the video 100 segundos que cambiarán tu forma de pensar in which I contrast the aspirations of the homeless with those of other people. It was viewed on Internet over 10 million times and was shared by national radio stations and magazines.
