Here he also furthered his musical skills by playing with some of the top musicians in the world, including events with his NYC roommates and prominent professionals such as Ramiro Marziani and Matar Fuma.

Coming back to Costa Rica during/after the pandemic, early in 2023 he met Casa Jimmy studios and clicked pretty soon. He has done several works ever since, including the recording and production of his own original project “Frikush”, and also recording and producing bands such as Gentry, Peace Maker, Hijos de Tencha, Deceiver, Angelix, and others.
