I perform guitar styles from Latin America and Europe, including classical and authentic Spanish flamenco.
I'm a professional solo guitarist with extensive experience performing for concerts, weddings, parties, and a variety of events.
Recent gigs include a performance of Latin and Sephardic music at Young Israel of Culver City, a wedding in Orange, an international festival at California Lutheran University, a 91st birthday party in Long Beach, a Sunday Brunch at the French restaurant Cafe Laurent in LA, a concert at the Moorpark Civic Center, a wedding on the helipad on top of the Ritz Carlton in LA, and a performance at the Red Barrel wine bistro in Long Beach.
I played flamenco guitar for 5 years at the Viva Madrid Spanish restaurant in Claremont, and also for several years at the Miramonte winery's Flamenco Friday in Temecula.
In March 2012 my guitar reached millions of people on the Latin show "Q'Viva: The Chosen" on Univision and Fox, with Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, with 11 of my pieces used in profiles of talent show contestants from different Latin American countries.
In December 2011 my Christmas Guitar was the #1 album downloaded to radio stations worldwide for several days from Airplay Direct, the top Internet provider of music to radio stations globally.
My music has also been aired on NBC, MTV, the Independent Film Channel, Oxygen, Bravo, VH-1, Logo, TVLand, Spike, Planet Green, and Mexico's Si channel, KPFK-FM Los Angeles, Radio Belgrano and Radio Mendoza in Argentina, and is available for licensing from music libraries in London, Toronto, New York, and Los Angeles.
Here are some reviews of my performances.
Holiday Party in Pasadena, CA on 12/02/2012
Jeff was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. He showed up on time, dressed appropriately, and showcased his talents by playing beautifully during the cocktail hour. He is a professional artist and his price is very reasonable. I would recommend Jeff to anyone looking for live entertainment for their events.

Jeff was a true gentleman in everyway possible. After talking to a few other musicians, it was apparent that Jeff's work was part of his heart and that he took his job very seriously. Communication was great from day one and he made the process very easy. There should be ratings higher than 5 for him. thanks Jeff, it was a treat to listen to you and meet you.

Thank you Jeff! This was a surprise for my wife and she loved it. Jeff's guitar skills are excellent. He was easy to talk to, friendly with my guests, and overall a great person to work with. His music created a great atmosphere. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for some Flamenco guitar. He was professional, timely, and very reasonably priced. All in all a great experience. -- Jason S, Long Beach, CA, 8/8/2009
Jeff was fantastic, talented, professional, and easy to work with. I contacted hime to perform at my Mom's 60th birthday party. He arrived early, set up quickly, and began to play. Everyone enjoyed the party tremendously with much of the credit going to the music he provided. Thanks Jeff! -- Eric A, Hacienda Heights, CA, 8/15/2009
A beautiful addition to our event!
Jeff was a joy to deal with - punctual, professional and responsive to calls and emails. His music provided a lovely ethnic background to our Mexican fiesta themed dinner party. - Chava L., Los Angeles, 12/1/2013 (from
