- JuanitoBand/artist history
Been playing Keys since I was 10. Self Taught. Mexican-American. I was Born Deaf in my left ear and went though special education classes all the way up til I left high school at the ninth grade.
Spent the last seven years of my life out in Downtown San Jose. Dot Commers, I was there brothas and sistas!! Experienced the The Downtown, the Nightlife and I live to bear witness. Thank God, I'm still here.
While in San Jose I played keyboards for Southside Players, Chris Landon / Crash Landon, Triplex, Soul Vista and started doing keyboard session work for a very hardworking and talented producer, Anas Cannon and associates, Rhamis Kent & Steve Harris which you can check out his body of
work here -http://www.remarkablecurrent.com
I was also very fortunate to have met Steven Burich who I met Three Years ago. My collaboration with Steve and also Ali Shinsy, an amazing percussionist resulted in group called SANAMA (http://www.sanama.net) which right now you can get over at crybaby.com . I am very proud of results of the finshed product in which over 95% of the keyboard work was performed by yours truly.Have you performed in front of an audience?I still Play Live and I'm also available for Keyboard/Vocal Session work as long as it doesn't conflict with my main priorities.

I used to use an Alesis Quadrasynth Piano Plus for my Piano an Rhodes Sounds until it recently gave up the the ghost so now I use a Peavey DPM C8 Master Midi Controller to Trigger all the Various Soft Synths that are loaded up on my Digtal Audio Workstation which started out in life as a Intel P4 2.6ghz, 1gig of RAM, 240 gigs of hard drive space plus firewire external drive.

Very computer literate. I Build all my PC's from scratch. Spent many nights walking the isles of Fry's Electronics and put many toys on layaway at Guitar Center. AmericanMusical.com Owns me. Behringer.com kicks major ass!
I don't use Macs. Their great for tossing from top of High Buildings Though. I do wanna get a 20gig ipod soon (maybe one day).
