During this period he attended master classes with the teachers José Antonio Escobar, Carlos Pérez, Leo Brouwer, Ricardo Gallén, Hopkinson Smith and Marcin Dylla.

Considered one of the most outstanding performers of classical guitar in Chile, in 2019 he released his first solo album, entitled Imbricatta, which contains compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach, Paco de Lucía and Sergio Assad, among others.
