History-Music has been the blood flowing through the vanes of Troke since birth. Naturally picking up a Guitar and playing tunes by ear was just a sign that there was something unique about this 6 year old who always imitated his father singing and playing. Seeing something evolving, his parents quickly enrolled him to Music Lessons, and his first instrument was the "Cuatro" (A 5 doubled stringed guitar, typical instrument of Puerto Rico). After 3 months of taking lessons, he decided to branch off to his own being that he wanted to play music rather than the average Jingle Bell tunes. That choice was the spark that benefited but also made it difficult musically since he never learned to read it. That didn't stop him from doing what he loved, which was music. His dream was to become one of the best cuatro players and collaborate with his idol Yomo Toro, and in 1995 his dream came true. Not only was he recognized as the youngest cuatro player in the Tri State, but he performed live with Yomo Toro at a concert in the Newark City Hall.
