His live performances are intimate yet layered, combining the warmth of acoustic guitar and voice with looping, ambient textures, and modern harmonies. Having begun his career performing in the vibrant music scene of his native Quito, José developed a deep connection to the folk and popular traditions of Ecuador, where storytelling through music is woven into everyday life. Drawing from this rich heritage as well as influences from Mexico, Cuba, and Brazil, he crafts a sound that feels both familiar and refreshingly new—honoring tradition while exploring contemporary musical landscapes.
