I am a lifelong musician raised around Santa Fe, NM. I currently play with Latin Rock group Una Más y La ChaCha, and Alternative Rock duo Zealous Grooves. I also produce Hybrid-Electronic Dance Music and DJ under the moniker Trate. I enjoy taking musical elements from one genre and repurposing them through another, mixing in experimental concepts focused around Space and the Human Experience.

Along with Devox in Austin TX, I co-founded Unidentified Media Group during the Pandemic, providing livestream EDM concerts over Twitch. I served as mastering engineer for our artists' releases and graphic designer for our livestreams. My work was featured on two of our collaboration albums, as well as my own Entropic EP. 

I currently host two programs on KSFR Santa Fe Public Radio: The Frequency Emporium and Legion of Boom. My mission is to share lesser-known or eclectic music that deserves a wider platform. I also strive to boost the local talent around New Mexico, who rarely get a fair shot at the limelight.
