He was born in Barcelona, in the Ciutat Vella neighbourhood. He was a very sensitive boy, quite restless, dreamy and imaginative. His teachers found it hard to bring him down to Earth; he always had his head in the clouds. He felt life intensely and lived deeply.
He was a superhero and founding member of a detective club with his school friends.
Later, he took an interest in archaeology and antiquity, but finally decided not to go to university, because he did not want his head filled with lies. His real passion was music. He has played many instruments in different musical groups. He has also been a lyricist and composer.
He has always loved books and, as a writer, in 2010 he published Las enseñanzas de Sherlock Holmes, a spiritually-themed essay. And in 2019, Las mejores frases del zen, a compilation of short Zen aphorisms.
He has practised yoga, tai-chi, chi-kung and Zen. He has meditated for more than twenty years. He has had two main spiritual masters: a catholic nun and a Zen master, and a former monk from Montserrat who guided him where he needed to go.
Married to Elena, together they have followed a long and wonderfully musical and spiritual path.
