Juan S. Garcés biography
JUAN S. GARCÉS is a musician, guitarist, and producer from Quito ? Ecuador. Raised in a home where music was an essential part of the day to day, he started learning guitar at a young age. He nourished his musical knowledge and skills with both academic and autodidactic studies throughout the years. He has performed with some of the most renowned bands in the Ecuadorian rock/metal scene (Colapso, Descomunal, Madbrain, Viuda Negra), as well as with various artists in other genres.
Currently working as an independent artist, JUAN has devoted the last few years to developing his personal projects.

JUAN S. GARCÉS was born in the city of Quito, Ecuador on March 21, 1987.

Gifted to him by his parents during a trip to the USA, it was a black Squier Stratocaster with white pickguard, that came in a pack with a Frontman 10G tiny amp. He was irrevocably hooked from then on.

Throughout his teenage years, JUAN took music and guitar lessons at Conservatorio MozArte. He also spent a lot of time listening to records, reading magazines, watching videos; and when the internet became more accessible, downloading charts and tablatures to study. He formed the first band at his school, where he gave his earliest performances to an audience. During this same period JUAN broadened his musical palate greatly, listening to bands like Angra, Children of Bodom, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Metallica, Nightwish, Pain Of Salvation, Pantera, Porcupine Tree, Symphony X, Tool, etc. He also discovered the world of instr...
