Born in Medellin, Colombia, on August 9, 1972, Juanes was caught in the nets of music from an early age, influenced by found sounds from suburban music and tangos of Carlos Gardel, to Soda Stereo, to Led Zeppelin Silvio Rodríguez and Jimi Hendrix.
During eight years he was a singer, guitarist and principal songwriter of the rock band Ekhymosis (1987-1999) with that produced five albums.
His compositions reflect strictly personal experiences and themes ranging from love to the humor and double meanings, which further emphasizes the high social message of peace and disturbed the singer Juanes and who oppose the violence generated by the continuous fight in his native Colombia, as well as all the conflicts that mark the face of the earth, and highlights the love of family and respect for humanity as the road that will take us beyond the bitterness.
Millions of fans of this poetic rocker adopted their compositions as anthems dedicated to Latino pride, hope for peace, and the power of love.
Recently named one of the 100 most influential people by Time magazine, Juanes has devoted much time to his work as a whole, and in this respect his work goes far beyond the passionate lyrics of their songs. This can be determined by finding the many philanthropic causes he supports continuously. Thus, the work of his own foundation "My Blood" has been recognized internationally as one of the most active against the use of landmines, both in Colombia and in the rest of the world.
