Musical career

Escueta began playing drums at the age of 13. He entered the Philippine music industry when he became the drummer of Bazurak, where Nathan Azarcon, one of his bandmates, was the bass player. Azarcon played bass in another band, Xaga. In 1994, he replaced Rome Velayo as the drummer and percussionist of Xaga, which later disbanded and was renamed Rivermaya. He was drummer of Rivermaya until 2011, but Ryan Peralta took over as the drummer. He gradually returned to guitars and became one of the band's lead vocalists (along with Mike Elgar and later Nathan Azarcon). Escueta returned to playing drums for the first time since 2011.

Following Perf de Castro's appearance at 19 East, Taguig, he reunited with his former Rivermaya co-members, Perf de Castro, Nathan Azarcon, and Rico Blanco for a "hide mini reunion" on his birthday, January 9, 2016.

Escueta is also the former drummer of the short-lived band Planet Garapata, which was formed by Raimund Marasigan in 1996.
