I'm a composer, co-writer, and guitarist for the band Trofobioz. I received a theoretical education at the College of Arts in Russia Petropavlovsk Kamchatsky but not finished it on the last grade because of my immigration because of war. I have seven years of experience playing, writing, and producing in modern heavy genres.

My goal is to inspire creativity, and a love for playing. I began playing the guitar at age 13. Classic rock bands such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and the Beatles, as well as blues guitarists Stevie Ray Vaughn and Eric Clapton, are my early musical influences. My love for music really bloomed when I started writing songs, and performing in bands in High School and College.

I have been playing guitar for 47 years and teaching for more than 40 years. My passion for music began at an early age while growing up in Terre Haute, Indiana. In 1980, I began studying guitar at The Conservatory of Music in my hometown, where I trained for four years before returning in 1986 as a guitar instructor at the very same studio where I had once been a student.

Hi! I'm Héctor, a professional guitarist and music educator from Mexico with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education and a Master's Degree in Educational Planning and Development. For many years I've taught music in schools, given private lessons, and performed regularly as a live guitarist.

I can't remember a time when music wasn't part of my life. I remember being in first grade, rocking out to The Rolling Stones while doing my math homework. In middle school, my mom decided I needed to channel my energy into something more creative than playing Super Mario Bros. She bought my first guitar from a gentleman selling gardening tools at the Alpine Village Swap Meet.

About Me & My Teaching Approach Professional Background With over 30 years of professional performance and 25 years of teaching experience, my musical journey has spanned across Mexico, Canada, and Brazil. I am a multi-instrumentalist (Bass, Guitar, Piano, and Drums) and a composer currently preparing for an international performance contract with Disney.

I felt in love with music when I was 12 and, by then, I have never left it. After 5 years of individual guitar lessons (both classical, acoustic and electric guitar) I decided to follow academic studies in Rome, at the prestigious Saint Louis College of Music.

I am a musician and sound designer with experience in guitar, bass, synthesizers, harmonica, composition, and music production. I enjoy helping others discover their own musical voice by sharing practical knowledge, encouraging creativity, and guiding students through challenges — whether they want to learn an instrument, create music, or explore sound.
