Musical career
He is the founder, lead singer and bassist of the death metal and progressive metal band Dorso.
As musician he is known by not using the bass just as an anchor instrument and part of the rhythm section, but expands its range in such a way that it takes center stage in songs like "Expelido del vientre" and "Alrededores del templo" from Bajo una luna Cámbrica, "Romance" from the same-titled album, and "Transformed in cocodrile" from Big Monster Aventura.
In addition, he has participated in other musical projects:
Radio and television
Between 1995 and 1998 he was host of the Maldita Sea TV show, together with his friend Juan Andrés Salfate. The show was based on analyses and discussions on cult films, anime, video games and gore films. The show format included reviews and the hosts commenting on the films while watching them, and became a cult series.
After the end of the Channel 2 Rock & Pop transmissions, Cuadra and Salfate went to La Red to make El rincón maldito (The cursed corner), a show that maintained the same style as its predecessor. Later, in 2004, again migrated with the same scheme, to UCV Televisión, this time with the name Planeta Freak (Freak Planet). They have even staged live events using the show's outline. Finally, in 2011, they went on the air again, this time on the Internet.
From 2011 to 2013 he was the host of the Sin Vergüenza show in Chilevisión.
Nowadays (2015) he hosts a segment every business day from 5 to 6 pm called RockShop (Radio Show) in Radio Futuro.
