He has quickly established a name for himself as a composer with the unique ability to incorporate a large diversity of influences in his captivating and innovative compositions, which engage both musician and audience at a visceral and emotional level. His music has been performed by some of the world's most prominent ensembles, including Chanticleer, the American Composer's Orchestra, the New England Philharmonic, and the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet; recorded by Warner Classics, Sony Classical, Naxos, and Cedille records; published by C.F. Peters, Mel-Bay, and Doberman Editions; and awarded by the American Composer's Orchestra, the Herb Alpert Foundation, the New England Philharmonic, the Guitar Foundation of America, BMI, and twice by ASCAP..... As a guitarist, he studied guitar with the noted teacher Carlos Molina, and quickly established a name for himself as not only a virtuoso on the instrument, but also as one of the preeminent composers for the guitar today. His work in popular music includes performances on feature soundtracks for Lions Gate Films (Crash Ð 2006 Academy Award Winner: Best Picture) and Universal Pictures (Dragonfly - 2002); studio sessions for Vagrant, Island/Def Jam, and Universal Records; as well as ABC's Scrubs (2009), MTV, and VH-1. He has performed live as opening act for The Who at the Hollywood Bowl, as well as with Grammy Award winning jazz trumpet soloist Arturo Sandoval. Carlos is also a second prize winner at the D'Addario International Guitar Concerto Competition..... He is a sought out resident composer, clinician, and guest lecturer throughout the United States, covering topics ranging from his own compositions, the music of George Gershwin, The Beatles, Joaqu’n Rodrigo, and Radiohead. A DMA graduate in Music Composition at the University of Southern California, he studied with Donald Crockett, Stephen Hartke, Orlando Jacinto Garcia, and mentored with composer - songwriter Randy Newman..... Carlos is a voting member of the Recording Academy (Grammy's) and was recently invited into the Miami Symphony Orchestra's Strategic Alliances program, whose membership includes conductors Gustavo Dudamel, and Alondra de la Parra.....
