Born and raised in Guatemala City, Jose Garavito has always been surrounded by music. Since very young he grew up in music lessons without really liking any of them to stick around long enough. In 2016 he came to the U.S. and later in 2017 came an opportunity to play the bass in church, which would lead to more Sunday’s serving in that area. Ever since those first few times playing, a love for the instrument was born. He continues to worship God with his gift wherever he goes. He currently works in Expresiones Music Academy as a guitar and bass teacher, and occasionally posts YouTube videos.
