Jorge Chavez

I began playing at the age of 15. I started out playing in school music contests and kept practicing playing Metallica and Nirvana songs, i would listen to their records and practicing wherever I could, pillows, the sofa etc. I bought my first drum kit in 1995. Taking my musical education a little more seriously I took lessons with different local teachers. I entered the University of Guadalajara music school in 1997 and played in a variety of bands. I finished my musical education in the year 2000 to dedicate full time to "Pito Perez". Thats my actual band. We won the second edition of a nationwide contest sponsored by Hard rock Cafe called "Hard Rock Stage". After this we sign a contract with Warner bros.
