Robertico began his professional percussionist career during his
teenage years. He first worked with a company managed by Wilfrido Vargas which administered several musical groups. While in the Dominincan Republic, Robertico had the opportunity to work as recording studio
percussionist for many music band leaders of the Dominican Republic such as Wilfrido Vargas, Manuel Tejada, Dioni Fernandez, Boni Cepeda, Marcos Carreras, Ramon Orlando, Bertico Sosa, Soni Ovalle, and Leini Guerrero.

Robertico has also worked as stage performer with many popular Dominican bands such as "Los Hijos Del Rey", "El Equipo de Dioni Fernandez", "Boni Cepeda", "The New York Band", "La Gran Manzana" and many more.
He has toured all over Europe, Asia, Africa, and the American continent.


In 1998, Robertico decided to form his own band which he named "Merengada." With Merengada, he created his first musical production known as "Las Cosas de Robertico" (BMG LATIN). Robertico wrote all of the lyrics and composed all musical arrangements for this production. In 1999, he recorded his second CD named "Amor y Calle" (BMG Latin). In 2000, he toured the Dominican Republic with his band, playing in TV shows, festivals and private activities. In 2001, he returned to the US and started his current project called "ALEBREKE".

With "Alebreke", Robertico produced his third CD "Robertico y Su Alebreke". This CD is a mix of Latin jazz and includes a variety of songs and styles such as Salsa, Bachata, Chachacha, and Merengue.

Robertico has worked as an outreach instructor for the Rhode Island Philharmonic. Through this program, Robertico and other musicians worked with inner city kids to teach them the art of Latin music.
