During its almost 8-year tenure in the music business, HOME Artists became one of the most important artist management and booking agencies for rock and alternative genres in Mexico, with a roster that included Zoé, Jumbo, Volován, Sussie 4, Quiero Club, Niña, Vaquero, Cartel de Santa, Hermanos Caballero, Suarez, Ana Victoria and more.Due to their success both at developing careers and delivering sustained growth to their clients and the company, HOME Artists was bought by OCESA, which kept their current roster, and brought in the whole team of partners and employees.I was CEO and partner of HOME Artists, and I oversaw the entire operation of the company, including marketing, sales, finance, image, growth strategies and ultimately, the sale of the company to OCESA.

The initial steps of my artist management career, XL Producciones was a first attempt to formalise a then not-so-formal profession.Along with my partner at that time, I managed the career of major label act Resorte (Universal), and then on my own, I developed the careers of Sony Music's Genitallica and BMG's Cartel de Santa.

My first serious entrepreneurial effort in the music industry, Cuarto de Control was a recording studio and production house that played an important role in the development and growth of the late 90's alternative music movement in Monterrey, which had an international impact and set the ground for the actual Latin Alternative genre.Many bands and artists were part of Cuarto de Control's story: Control Machete, Zurdok, Zoé, Café Tacvba, Titán, Julieta Venegas, Plastilina Mosh, División Minúscula, Flor de Lingo, Brujería, Genitallica, Celso Piña and more.At Cuarto de Control, we all had in mind to set a standard for high quality recordings and productions in the country, but also to put our city in the international map and make a statement about the music we liked.
