In 2022 he won the Juventudes Musicales de España award, which led him to festivals such as Menorca, Torroella de Montgrí, and Terrassa, and he completed an Erasmus program at the Jazz Campus in Basel, where he studied with Ambrose Akinmusire, Brad Mehldau, Larry Grenadier, and Jorge Rossy. At the end of his studies he received the extraordinary prize for best Liceu student and performed at the Barcelona Jazz Festival.
