Throughout his career, he has been awarded in numerous international competitions.

As a Lied pianist, he has had the opportunity to debut at prestigious festivals such as the Schubertíada de Vilabertran, the Oxford Lieder Festival, and LIFE Victoria in Barcelona, performing in venues like L’Auditori de Barcelona or at Carnegie Hall in New York in January 2025 as part of Renée Fleming’s SongStudio program.
