He studied Linguistics and Literature at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú and Art History at the National University of San Marcos. As an art curator, he has published several books and held various exhibitions of Amazonian art, such as El milagro verde (with Christian Bendayán), Usko Ayar: la escuela de las visions and Koshi Kené; and popular art, including Yuyay Lima, A mí qué chicha and El pueblo es una nostalgia que algún día vencerá by the photographer Nicolás Torres. He wrote the script for the graphic novel Rupay, a research project for which he won the Rockefeller Scholarship in 2004. The comic (illustrated by Jesús Cossio and Luis Rossell) was published for the first time in 2008 and has since been released in Spain (2010), in France and Brazil (2016) and in Austria (2018). One of his latest works as a researcher and curator culminated with the art exhibition and book: Búmm! Historieta y humor gráfico en el Perú (1978-1992). In 2001 he published the collection of poems Ciudad Cielo, which was republished in 2004 by Eloísa Cartonera along with the book of short stories El subte. His work as a DJ and music researcher led him in 2022 to publish the book Yawar chicha: los ríos profundos de la música tropical peruana, the most complete history written to date about Peruvian Cumbia Chicha. Papá Huayco is his first novel.
