About

I am a musician, and I chose to dedicate my life to music. In order to do so, I left my home country, Argentina, and moved to Germany to continue my postgraduate studies in percussion.

A few months after arriving in Cologne — the city where I have lived since 2015 — I went through a deep crisis that made it impossible for me to step onto the stage and play. Or rather: every time I did, a strong feeling appeared that everything was wrong — that I was not enough, that I was a failure, that this was not for me.

That moment marked the beginning of a process that, ten years later, is still ongoing.

Over time, my musical career began to grow: collaborations with important ensembles and orchestras in Europe, projects connected to Latin America, new opportunities. But the most decisive work was not only musical — it was personal.

Therapy, courses, workshops, encounters, doubts, setbacks, and questions were all part of a path that led me to a simple but fundamental realization: I could not continue developing my music without stopping to listen to what was happening inside me.

I am where I am today because I learned to give space to that and to work with it.

Was it necessary to go so far away to understand this? To travel those 14,000 kilometers, leave everything behind, and start again in a foreign and cold country?

With time, I understood that it was. It was probably the most difficult decision I have ever made — and also the most important one.

From that place, Mental Notes was born.

Today, I work with musicians and artists who are going through similar processes: people who feel that something gets stuck, that discomfort appears, that music stops being a livable space. I deeply believe that a musical career is not built solely through practice and technical perfection, but through a personal development that can truly sustain that path over time.
