After traveling to over 30 countries and having to not only survive along the way and make music he came to the conclusion that, “Everyone is facing the same circumstances but in different colors and experiences” but with his music he sends a message to his audience that with the collective and common feeling we can all discover we are all facing the same experiences on the same planet in different colors to paint one beautiful painting. As a young boy he grew up with his parents, a mother who painted and a father who played the guitar. After he left his first profession being a graphic designer he left his home country and hit the road to Argentina. Through his journey he realized his love for music is immense and not only enjoys creating it but can make a living out of it! Which is how he sustained himself along his 3 year journey to Argentina. He now has worked professionally as an artist in Costa Rica, South America and Guatemala & hopes to successfully and do the same in the U.S. This is Ishto Juevez.
