Amaury's Music Journey
His Unique Sound
Amaury Gutiérrez focuses a lot on the singing part of his songs. His voice adds special feelings to his performances. He gets ideas from many different artists like Pablo Milanes, Djavan, Caetano Veloso, Ruben Blades, Andy Montañez, Stevie Wonder, Al Jarreau, Soraya, and Paul McCartney. Amaury finds it easier to create the music first, often using his guitar, and then write the words.
