Londres is the founder member of underground group Sol Invicto an instrumental cinematic metal/electronic group which features Deftones guitarist Stephen Carpenter & UK drum & bass producer Mark Caro aka Technical Itch and Dan Foord on drums.
Founded by Londres in 2004 with MC Tiago and Eric Bobo of Cypress Hill. The group toured extensively in the UK from 2006 to 2008 and released several music videos and released 2 EP's, supporting artists such as Ozomatli, La Mala Rodriguez and Joel Ortiz.
Cultura Londres has been through many musical and line up changes since its conception and enjoyed a great reception from fans around the world but with Tiago's family commitments Londres was forced to shift his focus and started working on his other project Sol Invicto. With Sol Invicto now officially his main project Londres has always hinted at returning to finish the work he started in Cultura Londres. In a recent interview Londres stated "I want to debut the true sound of Cultura, much more in tune with my roots as a musician and producer. I've always been into the heavier, darker side of music, its always been in my heart. I tried all kinds of sounds for Cultura Londres and I've ended up back where I started. It's a journey I think you have to make as an artist to truly know why you do what you do."
Cultura Londres returned in 2022 as Cultura Londres Productions, currently working on a number of scores for film and television for the Latin sector with Universal Latino.
Londres is based in London/NYC & Los Angeles. He is known to use a combination of Logic, Ableton and live instrumentation for production. His influences are cited from Motown to Aphex Twin.
