He has toured all over Japan and has performed in Brunei, Australia, Alaska, Korea, Singapore, Beijing, Kuwait, Afghanistan, Qatar, Abu Dhabi (UAE) and Jordan.

Since moving to Japan, he has been sought after by Japanese musicians due to his knowledge and ease of incorporating the guitar and the Cuatro Guitar (which is Puerto Rico’s national instrument) in jazz and Latin music.
