Born in Barcelona (1973), Lluís is one of the most demanded pianists in the spanish Blues scene.
Influenced from early age by records of Jerry Lee Lewis, Roosevelt Sykes and Alan Price, Lluís little by little moves away from the classical piano studies to dedicate himself, in a self-taught way, exclusively to Rock & Roll. He shows very soon a surprising ability for Blues and Boogie Woogie.
Considered a specialist and awarded with the prizes “Best catalan musician 2003” and “Artista BluesCat 20063”, Lluís has given conferences and master classes on the history of Blues and Boogie Woogie piano, being one of the few pianists in Spain able to recreate the primitive styles of this genre. Lluís is often invited at European Blues & Boogie Woogie piano festivals where he stands out for his originality and powerful performances.
From his beginning, this great pianist has developed a personal touch in Blues & Boogie Woogie, creating his own compositions gathered in his records REMEMBER (Omix Records 2002), BOOGIEOLOGY (Rosazul Discos 2005) and in his most recent LONELY AVENUE (Swing Alley 2006).
Lluís' music can be heard in all the most emblematic clubs around Spain such as Café Central (Madrid), Black Note (Valencia), Café España (Valladolid), La Bilbaina del Jazz (Bilbao), Bel-luna Jazz Club (Barcelona), Jamboree (Barcelona). and festivals as Festival de Blues de Cerdanyola (2006), Festival de Jazz de Terrassa (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005), Festival de Blues de Vic (2006), Festival de Jazz de Sanlúcar (2006), Festival de Blues de Roses (1997, 2002, 2006), Festival de Blues de Reus (2006), Festival de Blues de Nou Barris (2002, 2004), Festival de Jazz y Blues de la provincia de Cádiz (2004), Festival de Jazz de Tiana (2004), Festival de Jazz de San Javier (2007) and beyond spanish frontiers this young pianist has been invited to Miri Jazz Festival (Malaysia 06 & 07), Voxstock Blues Festival (Belgrad 06), Int. Boogie Woogie Festival de LaRoquebrou (France 06), Int. Boogie Woogie Festival Switzerland (Lugano 05 & 07), Jazz au Mercure (Toulouse 07) among others.
Lluís combines his musical activity with Boogie Woogie promotion in Spain organizing several events as the annual Blues & Boogie Reunion, in Terrassa, international Boogie Woogie piano meeting in Spain; where the audience has had the privilege to listen to the great master of Boogie Woogie Axel Zwingenberger as well as to some of the most respected European specialists as Philippe Lejeune, Martijn Schok, Silvan Zingg, Martin Pyrker, Frank Muschalle, Steve Big Man Clayton, Joja Wendt, Kenny Blues Boss Wayne, Rob Rio...
