Ivan Padilla
Drums
Miami native who originally started on the violin but soon fell into drumming and couldn't stop. He is the heartbeat of every project he touches and has produced and written music for over a decade. Ivan’s approach on the kit is adept and relentless. When he’s not behind the drums with his long locks flowing in the wind, Ivan can be found listening to a wide variety of music from sunup to sundown. Inspirations include the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Yussef Days, Electric Kiff, and Hiatus Kaiyote.
Keys
Jose Piñeiro
Saxophone
The lone wolf of the group, Jose often has one hand on the wheel and another on his sax. His improvisational style and technique are sure to catch you by surprise. He takes strides navigating through music with a chaotic but precise analysis. When he’s not taking the spotlight on stage, Jose is busy playing Magic and trying to finish the One Piece franchise. Primary influences include Michael Brecker, Dexter Gordon, and Chick Corea.
Sebastian Sayavedra
Bass
Complete manic on any stringed guitar, one could say he is funkier than your average man. Born in Chile, his natural instinct for predicting what's next makes his musicality beastly. When he is not focused on holding down the pocket, he’s busy spreading laughter everywhere he goes. His primary grooves are inspired by the likes of Pink Floyd, Ghost-Note, and Gondwana.
