Jorge Salo
I'm a single musician that has played in many bands before. Currently I record songs by myself, sometimes I have friends come over and record with me.
Right now I'm playing in a band called Cementerio de Abejas; it's an instrumental prog metal band.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been playing for many years now. At first I started out on drums (being the fact I was born a drummer). Then I played guitar in a band, having to fill in sometimes when the lead singer didn't make it; the same happened with bass.
Finally I'm back playing the drums; and as a plus, I'm now having a lot of fun recording.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
At the moment I'm playing live with my band Cementerio de Abejas.
