Lately, I've been listening to a lot of modern Cuban music, including NG La Banda, Pupy Y Que Los Son Son, Manolito Y Su Trabuco, Charanga Habanera, Irakere, Issac Delgado, Manolin, and more! Some Jazz Artists who have influenced me include Charles Mingus, Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter, Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery, and Herbie Hancock. Some Bass Players who continue to shape my playing are John Patitucci, Ron Carter, Cachao, Jaco Pastorious, and Feliciano Arango.

I play a Yamaha TRB-6P bass, a Tobias 5 string fretless, and a Kay upright bass. For recording, I currently use a combination of Pro Tools, Reason, Peak, and Finale.

Anything else?

Live your life creatively and consciously. Take risks - let your voice be heard. The bottom line is that there is enough apathy in the music industry and the world. Choose passion.
