I studied electric guitar and harmony with Oscar MartÃn Pacho at La FactorÃa School of Music. In 2006, I got a Diploma in Music Teaching by the "Universidad Complutense de Madrid". In 2007 I got a Performance Certificate in Electric Guitar at Musicians Institute (www.mi.edu), a prestigious school in Hollywood (Los Angeles, California)
I have attended and contributed to numerous educational seminars and workshops, music and psychotherapy and have live experience in various bands and orchestras in Spain.
"Being a professional musician is not a matter of technique. Areas as music psychology, coaching, dealing with people, art, and the study of the body are vital for personal success, previous to professional one. "
From Madrid to Hollywood
My name is Santiago and I'm a Guitarrist, Songwriter and Music Teacher from Spain. I'm studying in Musicians Institute in Hollywood to improve my skills in everything sourrounding music.
I began to play guitar at 16, and performed with Acid Rain and El Bufon de Lear. I recorded a demo with El Bufon de Lear and we had a lot of performances in Madrid plus some TV shows.
I was working in different interesting projects after that and learnt how to record myself in my studio at home.
When I finished my Music Teacher studies I decided to continue studying music and I came to Musicians Institute. I'm performing here almost every week, learning more about Songrwiting, Guitar and Music Business.
Now I'm working in my own project.
