Over the years he went to Berklee College of Music in Boston Ma. to study mainly composition.

Besides that, he began to compose jingles for radio and TV programs, compose the music for pop songs recorded by other singers, an instrumental Beatles song Cd and also produced and composed a CD for a vocal teenager group, but his love to compòse instrumental music in the vein of progressive rock and new age has made him to focus exclusively to this genre and by now has produced and recorded 4 different Cd's of original music, that have very positive reviews.
