Joaquin was born in Los Angeles, where he developed a love for music at a young age, learning many different instruments in his childhood. Inspired by his father’s collection of concert movies, he picked up a guitar in his teenage years, making it his main instrument and never looking back. During his senior year of high school, he began his teaching journey by giving zoom lessons to his fellow students.
