His family moved to the U.S., settling in the Tampa Bay area, and it is where he grew up. During that period in his life he continued to hone his guitar skills through his involvement with musical groups.
Partnering with a childhood friend, Cedric C. Givens, Roberto and Cedric created and released their first CD "Nemesis Bleu" in 1997. They would continue to collaborate over the years at various times, and they released the "It's Who We Are" album with bassist Cheik Ndoye in 2007.
Since that release, Roberto engages himself in further evolving his musical art skills, and to that end, he will join with other musicians in the DC area to create many varieties of music.
He can be heard performing as a soloist, and with groups in the DC area.
