Ivan started playing guitar when he was nine years old and was a dedicated musician from the start. His musical styles range from rock and pop to classical and flamenco. Ivan has been performing in the Montclair area for over ten years. He also teaches young kids at his own guitar studio, Church Street Guitar Studio and at St. James Church Preschool, both in Montclair. He's almost always playing around on his guitar, even while watching his favorite TV shows, "Monster Garage" and "American Chopper." (Well, maybe if the show's really good, he'll only play during the commercials.) He's a big-time New York Yankees fan, too.
