Pablo began playing the piano at the age of four, when he was taught his first notes by his father. At eight he was studying at 'Juventudes Musicales' and combining his work on the piano with his love for flamenco.
Two years later he was given a place at the Music Conservatory in Granada where he continued his studies of piano, theory and harmony, under the tuition of such professors as Gloria Emparán, José Luis Hidalgo, Luis Megías y Enrique Rueda.
For three years Pablo sang tenor in the prestigious Granada choir "Coral Generalife" conducted by the musician and composer, Luis Megías.
He remains rooted in the world of flamenco, members of his family include Antonio Cujón, the founder of the Zambra in Granada and Pepe Albaicín, the great Granadino singer is his grandfather. He has played with the Flamenco singer Luis Heredia 'El Polaco' with whom he went on tour in Holland, accompanied by Miguel Hochando and La Nitra.
Alongside his love for Flamenco and Classical music his other musical interests include bolero, salsa, pop and funk, all of which have influenced his style.
