Born in 1962 in Charleroi, Antonio, child of Spanish imigrants started to be interested in music in the 70’s.

He then took part in singing competitions and was part of an Andalusian rock music group. He left
in 84 to New York to study drums at the Drummers Collective with Kenwood Dennard. On his return to Brussels, he took drum lessons with Bruno Castellucci, Afro-Cuban percussions with Justo Pelladito and participated in various jazz formations.
