Pablo has been surrounded by Latin music all his life. Raised in Puerto Rico, he grew up listening to salsa and watching the great bands and singers: from El Gran Combo (from the days of Pellin Rodriguez), Hector LaVoe (with Willie Colon), from Roberto Roena to Santitos Colon and Conjunto Quisqueya. Besides attending their concerts, his fondest memory is watching them perform on television during "El Show del Mediodia" while he was still in grade school.

During the emergence of Salsa Romantica, Pablo was a part-time disco/dance DJ in the mid-80's and early 90's, and was dismayed that salsa dancing was "dying" in, out of all places, his native island. Still, he managed to play Salsa Dura for a rare breed of dancers in a few clubs. While in college and graduate school, he was able to get his occasional salsa "fix" by playing in a few alternative clubs in Philadelphia and Boston.

Throughout the years, Pablo only knew how to dance old school, unrefined, "abuelito-styled," Puerto Rican on 1. He was fascinated how hustle dancers could switch to salsa and mambo, but shyly decided to remain “in the DJ booth”. It was not until he attended a workshop in 1995, at the Bacardi Salsa Congress, that Pablo decided to take lessons. He spent a short time with Felipe Polanco in San Juan. After moving to New York, he sporadically attended most of the popular schools in New York and New Jersey. He experimented with the Fred Astaire studios, eventually leading to the schools dedicated strictly to mambo including Eddie Torres, Santo Rico and La Salsa de Hoy. However, Pablo received his most serious training from Marcus Nieves.

Now under the guidance of Mario B, Ivona Bochinska and Bernie Moran, Pablo hopes to fulfill his dream of becoming a true mambo dancer. With Project B, he found his dancing family and looks forward to sharing the rewards of hard work and performance.
