Alfonso started playing piano and saxophone through the school band and private instruction. He found his inspiration to play drums in high school by becoming part of the drumline. Furthering his music education at the university level, he received a bachelor’s degree at Florida State University and a master’s degree from Florida International University. Throughout his musical career, Alfonso has performed in various venues and festivals locally and around Florida.
