Hello, I’m Javier and this is a brief story about me, and why I do this.

About me

Music with Soul: From London to Barcelona

Born in Barcelona and raised on the best sounds of the 80s and 90s, I picked up the guitar at age 11. I am entirely self-taught; for me, singing and playing were always the most natural way to express emotion and connect with others.

In 2006, I moved to the UK—first to Bristol, then to London—where I launched my career as a professional musician. In 2011, I founded Los Amigos, a collective of talented musicians that became a staple of the London events scene. After 15 years of performing at hundreds of high-profile weddings, cultural celebrations, and private events, I have returned to my home in Barcelona to bring that same London-standard of professionalism and energy to the Mediterranean coast.

My Philosophy: More than just a performer
I believe that being a professional musician is about more than just playing notes. It is about understanding the “energy” of a room. Whether it’s an intimate ceremony or a high-energy dance floor, I have a keen eye for what a moment requires.

My approach is simple: I listen to your needs, I offer clear and proactive communication, and I deliver a seamless service that allows you to relax and enjoy your day. Hearing from couples years after their wedding—and knowing that their guests still talk about the music—is why I do what I do. It’s my privilege to help create those unforgettable memories.

Beyond the stage
When I’m not performing, I find my balance in nature with my wife and daughter. I’m also a songwriter—you can listen to my original music here.

A polished Spanish guitar with rich amber wood grain and intricate rosette detailing rests on a small, dark wooden stage riser, surrounded by elegant black floor monitors and a sleek microphone stand. Behind it, a subtle blur of palm fronds and distant Mediterranean sea hints at a Barcelona beachfront terrace wedding. Golden hour sunlight washes across the guitar’s glossy surface, creating warm highlights and soft, elongated shadows on the stone floor. Photographic realism, eye-level composition with shallow depth of field, conveying a sophisticated, romantic atmosphere that suggests the band is moments away from beginning a soulful ceremony performance.

Reviews

An atmospheric close-up of a rumba and salsa performance moment, focusing on a trio of instruments: a well-worn flamenco guitar with visible finger marks near the soundhole, a pair of maracas with hand-painted patterns resting on a linen-covered bistro table, and a sleek chrome microphone angled toward the guitar. In the softly blurred background, hints of stone arches and wrought-iron balconies evoke a historic Barcelona courtyard. Subtle stage lighting in warm amber and soft magenta creates delicate reflections on metal surfaces. Photographic realism, captured from a low, intimate angle with shallow depth of field, conveying rhythmic energy and sophisticated warmth without showing any performers.

“Los Amigos transformed our Barcelona villa wedding into a soulful Latin fiesta; flawless communication made planning from New York completely stress‑free.”

A dynamic stage-side perspective of a high-energy Latin wedding party in a chic Barcelona indoor venue, focusing entirely on the band’s performance zone: vibrant congas with natural hide heads, a polished bass guitar resting on a stand, a compact PA system, and a laptop on a sleek black table for backing tracks. Colorful moving lights paint subtle streaks of red, purple, and gold across the instruments and wooden floor. In the distant, deliberately blurred background, abstract shapes hint at dancing guests without depicting any people clearly. Photographic realism, shot from a low angle toward the stage, capturing motion blur in the lights to convey rhythm, sophistication, and celebration.

“Their Spanish guitar during dinner was pure magic, and the salsa set had every guest dancing—by far our favorite wedding decision.”
