Andreu Martinez
Born:
The young guitarist/composer from Barcelona, Andreu Martinez, brings a highly original blend of jazz-funk-fusion-rock-crossover and is certainly one of the most versatile and powerful musicians nowadays. His influences vary from great artists like BB King, Wes Montgomery and Jeff Beck to Muse, Coldplay or Aerosmith. From his 14th he absorbs everything from the jazz, blues and rock scene. He enters Barcelona’s “Aula de Jazz y Musica Moderna in 1994, graduating a year later with honours and begins his professional career playing with numerous groups on the local scene. He soon begins experimenting with the fusion of jazz with blues, rock and funk, discovering more contemporary musicians such as Bill Frisell, Scott Henderson, Pat Metheny and Robben Ford who have a great influence on him. In 2001 he moves to New York to broaden his musical knowhow and learn from the musicians in the big apple, and on his return from the states he records his first album "Senyales de Vida" (K-Industria) with his band, the ANDREU MARTINEZ PROJECT, with Jordi Franco on bass and Pere Foved on drums
