Vindver was born inBuenos Aires, Argentina. As a young man, he left the country during its financial crisis in 2002, visitingSpain andMexico before receiving a full piano scholarship to theFrost School of Music at the University of Miami inFlorida. While he studied jazz at college, he learned other musical genres elsewhere. He was playing in a practice room at UM when he was approached and asked if he would play in a localAfrican-American church. There he learned aboutgospel,R&B andsoul. He then became interested in technology and production.

"I was living in a practically destitute situation, because my parents couldn't help me financially and even though I had the full scholarship, I lived in a place where I didn't even have a bed," Vindver said. "At that time, an Argentine friend who lived in Miami gave me a computer that he didn't use, and there I downloaded cracked software to make music, and I started putting together the backing tracks for these gospel groups. As I did that, I started to like that a lot and I started to get more interested in producing, at first with the bands I played in."^[1]

In 2008, while still in college, he briefly became keyboardist and show producer forLauryn Hill.^[2]

After graduation in 2008, Vindver metRicky Martin's musical director who connected him withFranco De Vita, and he worked with him as arranger and keyboardist.

West's album debuted at No. 1 on theBillboard 200 album chart in the United States, while the Coldplay album entered theUK Album Chart at No. 1.
