At the age of 14, he was playing viola for the Burbank Philharmonic. After studying the tunings of most string and wind instruments, Roberto would be hired to write arrangements for local bands. Since then, Roberto has made a living as a performing and recording artist, but throughout continued to write original compositions in his favorite genre of music: Baroque. Roberto's approach to composing is simple and instinctive: a melody will arrive in his head and he will then transfer it to his laptop and build upon it. Though a fan of all 17th and 18th century music, colleagues of Roberto have compared his music to German writers of that era. He is also well-regarded as a proficient contrapuntalist, a skill that is almost intuitive to Roberto. He is currently working on a score for a short film and hopes to some day hear his works performed by an early music group. .
