Guitarist, producer and teacher. Currently based in Amsterdam, he is a graduate of the Amsterdam Conservatory and an active musician. He has supported bands such as Textures with his solo project, and has given clinics and masterclasses at Dutch guitar festivals. Javier actively collaborates with brands such as Ibanez, with whom he was one of the brand’s artists who played at Bologna Guitar Show 2026, alongside other artists such as Kiko Loureiro, Luca Mantovanelli and others. He writes instrumental progressive metal, with a focus on virtuosic guitar playing and a strong emphasis on harmony and rhythm.
