According to a document from 1738 he was baptised in the parish church of San Esteban in Valencia and it also stated he was a choirboy at the College of Corpus Christi (El Patriarca) in Valencia. When he was 18 years old he was appointed assistant of Francisco Vicente, the main organist there. In 1749, and after the death of Francisco Vicente, he was subsquently promoted as interim organist there. From 1752 to 1771 he was titular organist at the Collegiate Church of Játiva where he was ordained a priest. In 1757 he unsuccessfully applied to the position of chapel master at the Cathedral of Valencia and in 1761 he was appointed the organist there but he only remained few months before going back to Játiva. In 1768 he fruitlessly applied for the vacant position of chapel master at the Cathedral of Málaga and applied, also unsuccessfully, for a position as organist at the Royal Chapel of Madrid, which was awarded to José Lidón. In 1771 he resigned from his position as organist in Játiva, presumably to take over the organist post at the Descalzas Reales in Madrid. Around 1775 he returned to Valencia where he died few months later. As a composer, he mainly wrote sacred music, among them, 7 masses and 26 psalms. He also left an harpsichord concerto (1767) as well as 7 keyboard sonatas. His extant output, around 70 works, is only preserved in manuscript.
