As a professional actor, he has numerous credits in television, film, Off-Broadway and regional theatre, and he has been dancing and choreographing professionally since he was a teenager.
Together with noted composer Javier Leon, DaddyB has written over 20 new pop and dance songs. Their first single, I WANT A BEAR, was produced by William Luque and had its worldwide debut on the main stage of Madrid Pride on July 4, 2015, followed by the online debut July 7th of the music video, directed by renowned Spanish director Alvaro Pastor, along with Director of Photography David Acereto.
