Comments From The Artist Himself:
"Upon hearing me sing a solo, Baritone Hugo Marcos Rodriguez who performed at La Scala, selected me as his student, a relationship which lasted for six years."
"Inspired by both classical and popular music, I have been performing
both classical and crossover music. I have developed what I believe to be a unique style that fits both my classical training as well as my ability to perform in a variety of musical genres."
Nestor Gurry speaks six languages and is fluent in Spanish, English and Portuguese with less fluency in Italian, French and German.Look out for future recordings and performances of this handsome singing teacher tenor who resides in Brazil.
