Manuel was born in Germany in 1975. His mother is German but his father is Spanish, so he was raised with Flamenco in his blood. His father, a "Flamenco Aficionado", taught him about it at a very early age.
Then he discovered "Black Music" and felt very much at home with the sounds of Jazz, Hip Hop and Soul. In the nineties, after having spent quite some time in the US he became acquainted with American Country Music.

Today he has become a fabulous Flamenco singer and percussionist, touring Europe with his own band, and creating a whole new pop sound that is a mixture of Flamenco combined with all the influences of his career to date.
He has also worked with many dance ensembles and artists such as Toni el Pelao, Maria Juncal, Leonor Moro, supported the tour management company of Jouaquin Cortés' "Live Tour" in Germany as a freelancer, and was the opening act for the Spanish band "Pata Negra" during their tour through Germany.

To make his first solo album a special one, he was able to work with famous artists such as Charo Manzano (Alejandro Sanz, Joaquin Cortés), Manuel Parrilla (Enrique Morente, Nina Pastori), Miguel Sotelo (El Torombo, Potito) and the percussionist Jorge Palomo (Manzanita)
