A Journalism student and fan of Rock, especially Heavy Metal, he likes bands such as Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, and particularly Iron Maiden, a band he has seen three times, has followed since he was 12, and dreams of seeing a show in London. His first contact with heavy music came playing Guitar Hero, and he never stopped. He has always enjoyed writing and music is one of his passions. Within the genre, he considers Steve Harris, Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, and Ozzy Osbourne his idols.
