Eduardo’s music encompasses his depth in the study of the industry via a degree in composition and operatic vocal performance and influences stemming from a South American and European upbringing with roots in Venezuela, Cuba, and New York City. Having lived over half a decade in both Miami and New York City, provided Eduardo with invaluable collaborations in productions from pop to classical genres and avant-garde Off-Broadway shows. Eduardo uses a subtle ethnomusicologist’s approach to music. His record collection reads like a dense music history text book. In fact his eclecticism is quite enticing. Sounds of Jazz, Avant –Garde, Middle Eastern, South American, Afro-Cuban folk, Soul, Funk, and electronic minimalism, can be heard in his compositions, his singing, his dj sets, and his playing of instruments, whether in their pure form or intertwined with down, mid and up-tempo electronic treatments.

Ultimately, simplicity is what Eduardo strives for. An effort is always made to have a fresh organic sound while inevitably providing touches of technological advances shaping music today, never overwhelming and always sophisticated and tasteful.
New York certainly exposed Eduardo to a world of electronic music that would eventually shape his evolution as a composer/producer. Djing residencies at hotel and club settings aided in the understanding of his role as a music selector and crowd pleaser.

Eduardo moved to Los Angeles to focus on recording music and songwriting. He also spent 3 years as the head of the sound design and music department for mun2 television, a latin music television network owned by NBC-Universal. Simultaneously, Eduardo served as the Director of Music and Talent for several hotel properties both in Los Angeles and NYC. In the past 3 years Eduardo has been influential in the diurnal and nocturnal music scenes of Los Angeles, Miami, and New York with his The Eclectech event brand. He enjoyed three very succesful seasons of his The Eclectech Poolside Summer Sessions, SUNDAZE and continues to build his intimate monthly VOODOO, a night where Eduardo allows himself to take risks in a beautiful downtown Los Angeles artist loft he has refurbished. Martin Buttrich, Damian Lazarus, Craig Richards, and Henrik Schwarz are some that make up a long list of artists of which Eduardo has invited to play at his The Eclectech events.

Eduardo continues to be heavily involved with his own personal musical projects, djing, as well as scoring and sound designing for commercial and cinematic projects. He is also in the buildout stages of his own venue, PATTERN BAR, in his beloved downtown Los Angeles. This is the first of a two phase project, the second of which will be an initimate nightclub called RESIDENCIA.
