Bio
Born in Málaga, Spain, José has been drawn to artistic expression from a young age. He began his journey by attending Capoeira classes, a Brazilian martial art, marking his first foray into floor acrobatics. Simultaneously, he applied to and was accepted at a musical conservatory. During his teenage years, he expanded his skills into aerial acrobatics, taking courses and learning from various coaches in cities like Granada (CAU - Escuela de Circo de Granada) and Madrid (Fedriani Escuela de Danza y Acrobacia). His development was also shaped by his work with traditional circuses such as Circus Las Vegas and El Gran Circo Alaska.
José landed one of his first contracts in Egypt, performing at the El Gouna Film Festival in 2017. This experience sparked his desire to pursue international performances, leading to his role as a tumbler, contortionist, and aerialist in the Cirque Des Sens production "Los Piratas de O’hara" in Saudi Arabia.
He also appeared as a pop-up artist across various European countries including Italy, France, and Switzerland. In 2019, he joined Celebrity Cruises, performing as an acrobat and aerialist on different ships within the fleet. He successfully completed his contracts and served as a swing acrobat at Royal Caribbean Studios in Miami, featured in the following productions: Elysium (Aerial Straps, Tumbling), Max (Aerial Silks, Contortion), Rock City (Aerial Straps), Amade (Aerial Straps Trio, Tumbling), Colors of Life (Aerial Straps, Aerial Cage), and Euphoria (Aerial Pole, Spiral, Hoop, Silks, Duo Straps, Trio Hoop).
In 2023, during a trip to India, he was hired to perform in the prestigious Lalit Hotels chain, touring the major cities of the country.
Currently, he is on rehearsals in Miami, getting ready for his next tour in Asia, visiting places like Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore. Thailand, Australia, Hawai, Pacific Island and Alaska until end of June 2025.
