GUTI<br />
A classically-trained jazz virtuoso and national rock ‘n’ roll hero in Argentina, Guti was born in an<br />
exceptionally musical family, which included orchestra directors, saxophone players and pianists.<br />
As a teen, after getting into blues he began hanging with successful Argentine rock bands like the<br />
Black and Blues, Ratones Paranoicos, Viejas Locas and Los Piojos.<br />
“We were jamming, and I discovered that energy.” Before long, his own band Jovenes Pordioseros<br />
were playing to 10,000 people from Thursday through Saturday.It was in the studio of Latin Grammy-nominated<br />
producer and friend Leandro Martinez that Guti began experimenting with making<br />
house beats and singing on top. And having grown up with music, it didn’t take long before he was<br />
banging out several tracks a daywithout breaking a sweat. Since 2010 that he moved to Düsseldorf<br />
and created his stunning debut album “Patio de juegos” the Latin-Düsseldorfer is taking the world<br />
by storm, with fulminant live sets and appearances on labels such as Defected (with Luca Bacchetti)<br />
and Cadenza (with Cesar Merveille).<br />
