Born in Holguin, Cuba on May 9, 1975, Julio L. Sainz started playing drums at the age of 12 and became a professional by the age of 20. Self-taught on the drumset, he developed his unique musical concept by listening not only to rock, but also to a variety of musical styles from his native Cuba. He then applied elements of these styles to his drumming in a melodic and rhythmic fashion but with the force of heavy metal. His playing style has been described as "simple, unique and powerfulâ€. During his career, Julito Sainz has performed with the following artists: ANGELES DEL INFIERNO, NOELIA (Puerto Rican pop-start), Guillermo Pascual,DANILO MONTERO,Roy Palavicini , Martin Verry (286, Seis Cuerdas), Frank Patallo (DJ Monkey, Rob Haye’s Project), Mario Maisonave, Irene Garcia (Noelia), Javier Otero,ZUR.
