My stage name comes from a play on words of all my combined names Santiago Rodriguez Almenara, I come from a family of coasts and islands of Spain but I grew up in Venezuela, to be more specific in the city of Maracay.
I was born on November 15, 1985, but that's not important, the thing is I had lucky of growing up in a family that always listened good music at home and they are not musicians but neither I at that time, "The Beatles" and "Queen" every single day; then my brother Ricardo became drummer and it was since that time that started it all to make a long story short, I started playing keyboards at age 7, then drums at 12, in that moment of my life I joined the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Aragua State and belonged to the choir, singing as baritone and all this in order to study the instrument that I wanted to play, The chello, but a sudden change made me want to learn to play guitar (thanks to Mr. Richie Sambora or maybe to pick girls), and I was 15 when I started to play my first chords on guitar (Self learning) after a couple months I studied in some music schools to improve my skills on the six strings, years after I met some guys at the University I founded "Sexto Sonar", the rest I won't write it down here, it's too long (Hahaha!), but I promise you in the future a link for the long story and everything I've been through, deal?
Who the hell am I and what do I do?
I am not just a soloist artist, I am also the founder and guitarist of Sexto Sonar, a progressive metal band that was formed in late 2004, also manage a recording/rehearsal studio where I have made personal productions and for some customers, I am a fan to make many things on my own but fortunately I have many people around me that helps me a lot, like my current multi-task manager, my wife. On the other hand, love to film video clips even made website (like this one), take pictures is also one my hobbies, I just love to enjoy life that way, not just being on stage playing guitar and at studios recording them, I really like to make and to know the whole thing of this profession! Although doctors tell me to calm down a bit but the truth is that it is a little hard for me, I must always be doing something.
