  • C-NOTE Jazz Club 156 Calle Fernández Garcia Luquillo, 00773 Puerto Rico (map)

Born on New Year's Eve 1958 in Ponce Puerto Rico, Eliseo decided to be a musician. Both of his sisters played the piano and his uncle also was a musician and use to make and repair musical instruments and clocks . His cousin was an accomplished bass player who often coached Eliseo. "I grew up running around my parent's backyard watching my uncle and his friends playing and singing boleros and drinking rum". Encouraged by his family, specially his father to pursue a serious career in music, so Eliseo enrolled at the “Escuela Libre de Musica" in Ponce P.R. (his home town) and he started studying solfege with Emilio Alvarado.

Later on in high school Eliseo joined "Grupo Vocal De Escuela Dr. Pila in Ponce P.R.. The group played festivals and competitions while Eliseo kept working outside school with local bands.

After graduating Eliseo kept playing in L.A. and has worked with artists such as Strunz and Farah, Dave Samuells, Vickie Carr, Juan Gabriel, Ruben Blades and others. He has been going back to P.R. to play and record with different bands including Papo Lucca y La Sonora Ponceña. Eliseo recorded a bass solo on "Back To The Road" from Sonora Ponceña. In 2010 he recorded the sound track for "Knight and Day" motion picture with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz on Double Bass. Eliseo has released 3 independent CD's Amanecer Caribeño, The Prophecy, Baladas, and 3 singles available at CD Baby.com. Eliseo lives in L.A. California and just graduated from the Bachelor Program of CSCM at Shepherd University, he works with his own band and as a sideman with some of the best bands in L.A. Other credits include Dave Samuels, Vicky Carr, Juan Gabriel, Andy Montañez, Menudo etc. That's my short bio, the band was born in Ponce when I moved back from L.A., and when I started "Sureño Jam" and found Erick Perez and Jean Lou Treboux.
