Composing for film, orchestra and small combos, he melds influences from hip-hop, reggae, funk, rock and orchestral music, always innovative and exploratory.

King, Groundation, Talib Kweli, Dead Prez, Collie Buddz, De La Soul, Styles P, Fred Wesley, Delfeayo Marsalis, Arturo O’Farrill, Bobby Sanabria, and the Wu-Tang Clan among others. Internationally, Fuego has worked with Alejandro Sanz, Juan Luis Guerra, Ruben Blades, Laura Pausini, and Rosalia. Now based in Seattle, Fugeo has worked with Marina Albero, D’Vonne Lewis, the SRJO, Beserat Tafesse, Marina Christopher, Carter Eng, Davy Nefos, Marissa Kall, and many others.
