Juan Pedraza

Born in Ario de Rosales Michoacan, Mexico in the mid seventies from a farming family. When I was three year old, I moved with my Mother, two brothers 5 and 7 , and a less than a year old sister to Mexico city, right after my father was killed. I started singing at age 10 at school parties. Three years after my brother Jeronimo borrowed a guitar which was the first one that I strummed in my life, and without knowing any single chord , I felt a myterius sensation that I still can feel when i remember about it. Soon after my brother Jero taugth me how to play my first chord progression( C-Am-Dm- G7-C), i started playing in church groups, rondallas, parties, in the streets at nights while my buddies were drinking. There were times when people died in my neighborhood when their families asked me to play all along the way to the cementery and at the time when they were beeing buried. And how not to mention that I did my living Playing and singing on the public transportation all over Mexico City and its sorroundings. After playing in the cover band ROSA NEGRA with Othon Ruiz on lead guitar, Cesar Rendon on bass, Erick on drums and Alfredo keyboards for two years, I started singing with the hard rock band EUFORICA, with Jair on bass, Gabo on drums, Olga on voice too, Modesto keyboards, MI Vale on the noisy guitar , and Israel on lead guitar. After two years, I set out for a musical journey in the states working first as a duet with the great venezuelan multi-instrumentist/siger and songwriter MONICA GONZALEZ in 2003.( This story will get continued soon)
