Jose Luis has been performing for over thirty years and is highly regarded as a gifted harpist by his peers. Jose Luis is the only harpist to play both the classic concert harp and the Latin lever harp; which requires him to pluck the strings with two different techniques; the first uses his fingertips and the second his nails.

Jose Luis first fell in love with the sound of the harp and began studying in his early teens with Maestro Jose Serrano in Puerto Rico. He later visited Los Angeles to take private lessons with the world-renowned harpist and composer Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.

Jose Luis ha actuado por más de treinta años y sus compañeros lo consideran un arpista talentoso. Jose Luis es el único arpista que juega ambos el arpa clásica de concierto y el arpa de palanca Latina; lo que lo obliga a tocar las cuerdas con dos técnicas diferentes; el primero usa las yemas de los dedos y el segundo las uñas.

Jose primero se enamoro con el sonido de el arpa y comenzó a estudiar en su adolescencia con el maestro Jose Serrano en Puerto Rico. Mas tarde visito Los Angeles para tomar clases privadas con el compositor y arpista de renombre mundial Alfredo Rolando Ortiz.
