Pedro picked up the guitar at an early age and quickly became proficient in the instrument, later playing guitar in and becoming the main voice of the group Marka Registrada.[2]
Pedro resided in New York, where he starred in musical productions including: Apollo Theatre's production of The Sweet Spot (New York City) and the Off-Broadway hit musical production of CELIA: The Life and Music of Celia Cruz.[3] He has also starred in the films Shut Up And Do It[4] and Paraiso Travel, which is directed by Simón Brand and co-stars John Leguizamo.[5]
