Bulú was born in Maracaibo, Venezuela. His passion for percussion began at the age of 14 when he started playing congas with Gaita's Band (Venezuelan folk music). He then decided to study at the conservatory of the Symphonic Youth Orchestra of Venezuela (Orchestra Sifónica Juvenil).
At the age of 16, he was already playing with leading bands in Maracaibo such as La Nueva Generacion, Guaco, Combinacion 77 and Carangano (where he shared the responsibilities with Archie Peña, Jose Luis Garcia, and Federico Britos). After this experience, he went to Caracas for bigger opportunities, and it was there that he started his own band "La Crema", recorded an album, and even got to be Number Two in Venezuelan radio’s Top 50. He was also percussion player to Ricardo Montaner (the Venezuelan singer who for many years has been among the top artists in South, Central, and North America) for about four years, and part of a television program called "Almorzando con Orlando", where he was both percussion player and musical director.

In 1988 Bulú went to Aruba to accompany the show "Oba Oba of Brazil" and stayed for eight years, working with numerous popular music and Latin jazz bands.
In 1997 he went to New York and worked as a sound recording engineer with bands and musicians such as "Timbalaye", Jose Mangual Jr, Eddie Santiago, Song by Four, Papo Pepin, Milton Cardona, Yomo Toro, Leopoldo Pineda, Joe Torres, Robert Quintero, Robert Vilera, Marc Quiñones, Chicas del Can, Miosotis (ex-singer New York Band), Joe King, Cuco Valoy, Javier Vasquez y La Sonora Matancera, Fuerza Juvenil, and Junior Gonzalez.
