Meet Andres
Who inspires you?
There are many people in my life that have inspired me, but there is one person that has inspired me the most. My brother has always made me want to be better than him and beating him is always my inspiration. He doesn’t know it but he has been my inspiration since I started competing.
Something you do where time flies.
My favorite thing to do where time flies is play sports. Sports are a big part of my life and they will always will be. Sports are the only place where I feel free and able to do anything.
What brings the best in you?
Competition. It always brings my 110% no matter if its just a friendly competition or a international championship.
If a drummer plays the snare in a forest and nobody is there to listen to it does it make a sound?
I suppose.
What’s an ideal day for you?
Play sports (basketball and volleyball), play guitar and drums, hang out with my friends and eat, a lot.

THE artist
Why music?
Music has always been part of my life and it’s been there for better and worse. It has always been there and its something I enjoy to listen and to play.
What genre of music do you consider your work to be? Who are your major influences?
All my life I have dedicated my music life to heavy metal. It has been my major influence and the band that has formed me the most is Metallica.
What image do you think your music conveys?
Many people might think that my music convoys a dark and very negative side, but some songs are actually very happy...just sang in a very dark way.
Where have you performed? Do you have any upcoming shows planned?
I have only performed once in a concert at school. I’ve never found a group of friends that played the same music as I did. I finally found them and we played amazing.
What has been your biggest challenge as a band? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?
As a band I believe that it has been practices because we always have some other plans and we barely have time to practice.
What are currently your main artistic challenges?
My artistic challenges are to be able to play Metallica perfectly and be able to freestyle with metal riffs.
What inspires you?
Listening to Metallica inspired me at first, but after I saw my brother play, I knew I wanted to play.
What do you want people to know about your music?
My music is not always a person screaming into a mic. There are sometimes in bands like Bullet for my Valentine but in Metallica there is barely and screaming into the mic.
What is the your objective by the end of the school year?
For the end of the school year I want to be able to record a Metallica mashup with my friends just to have a very cool song to listen to. Also I want to be able to play at more concerts and show people that I do know how to play guitar… and very good.
