Federico Garcia Velez, known in the music world by his initials FGV, is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist hailing from Medelln, Colombia. Though he studied Mechatronic Engineering, music has always been his passion. He first picked up a guitar at 8 years old and began composing music at 15. He draws inspiration from the rock classics his father introduced him to as a young child and his style would later be shaped by artists of the pop-punk, metal, and alternative genres.With a passion for poetry, FGV is a firm believer in the value of lyrics, using metaphors, allegories, and context to craft each song. His sound strives to combine explosive riffs with sometimes lugubrious melodies, with an aim to both excite and touch the heart of the listener.
