Born and raised in Chicago, IL, Alexis has always been interested in the arts. Alexis grew up as a first generation Mexican American but surely grew his love for culture and music from across Latin America. He has been playing for 11 years and has his degree in Jazz Studies which he studied with Zvonimir Tot in the University of Illinois Chicago.

Alexis has worked with many great musicians such as Gerardo Ramirez (K-Paz), Jonathan sauso (Jazz saxophone), Salvador Moreno (La Castañeda), El Hijo de boriken (Rap), etc. In Artfinix, he shares his knowledge and love for music to his private lesson students and group classes. As a teacher, Alexis strive to cultivate a music learning environment where students leave with a solid understanding that music can be used as a powerful tool to reflect our lives, that they have an appreciation for their work and others, and that they hold the confidence to create and perform in ways that impact not only themselves, but the communities around them.
