...My Journey So Far...
I'm a singer, composer, guitar player, vocal coach and guitar educator from Argentina.
I am the singer and Guitar player of the Argentinian Power Metal band Azeroth and also the lead singer of Damnation Angels, a Symphonic Prog Metal band from the Uk.
I was born in Buenos Aires Argentina on the 9th of October in the year 1988. Raised within a family filled with musicians, mostly Guitar players, I’ve started to play guitar at the age of 8 and then ten years later, founded my other passion in life, singing. At the age of 24 i recorded my very first professional album with the band Innvein. The album was named “Timeless”.
Three years later, i’ve got the chance to do a European Tour filling in as a vocalist for the Symphonic Prog Metal band Damnation Angels. After the tour, i’ve became their lead singer. Almost a year and a half later, we did another exceptional European Tour with the Mighty Threshold.
On the year 2017 I was asked by Fernando Ricciardulli, bass player, founding member and leader of the Argentinian Power Speed Metal band Azeroth to be their new singer. Eventually, I also became the guitar player of the band, joining forces with my brother Pablo Gamarra on guitar as well. We recorded a full lenght album named “ Más Allá Del Caos” and we are currently touring all over Argentina presenting it.
As developing my self on both Guitar and singing, i founded that I love teaching everything I can to those interested in getting better at Guitar or singing. Therefore, that's how my journey as a guitar/vocal educator started.. I’ve been doing it for over six years now. I've participated in several records and live shows. Albums: - Innvein "Timeless" ( Lead Vocals, Guitars and composer) - Mil Odios " Te Detesto" ( Guest Guitar Solo) - Meremoth " Al Final Del Camino ( Lead Vocals" - "A tribute To Sonata Arctica" ( W/ Innvein on the track " Wolf & Raven") - Nika & Friends Project Polish band ( Guest Singer). -Melodius Deite band Thailand (Guest Singer) - Azeroth “Más Allá Del Caos” ( Lead Vocals, Guitars, Arrangements) Live Shows: European Tour “ Too busy looking good 2016 “: - Damnation Angels ( As a Lead Singer) + Spheric Universe Experience + Threshold.
