He was awarded numerous prizes in national and international competitions such as the ‘International Cello Competition Gaspar Cassadó’, National Spanish Chamber Music Competition for Young Musicians, First Prize at the Conservatoire National de Paris, or the interpretation Award of the College of Spain in Paris.

In his particular interest in chamber music he has been invited to perform at prestigious festivals such as the Cello-Fest (Belgrade), Festival de Radio-France (Montpellier), Menuhin Festival (Gstaad), Salzburg Festival, Midis-Minimes (Brussels), Prussia Cove (England), Festival do Estoril (Portugal), Festival of Torroella (Spain), Festival Lysy (Argentina), Incontri Musicali (Siena), Festival Ibérico (Spain), Festival di Pompei (Italy) or Schubert Festival (Austria).

Being 27 he was appointed Professor of Cello and Chamber Music at the International Menuhin Academy in Switzerland, activity he combines today with the professorship at the Conservatory of Music of Badajoz. He is regularly invited to give masterclasses in Switzerland, Spain, Serbia, France, Argentina, and Portugal.
