About
Guillermo Villar is a Puerto Rican born, experienced guitar player and vocalist, who's steeped in jazz and Latin styles of music. His musical evolution started in Latin America in the 1970s and 80s. Having grown up in Puerto Rico and Venezuela during that time, his music is rooted in a mixture of rock, pop, and Latin music that was being pumped out by radio stations there at the time. Once he moved to the U.S. to attend college, he got interested in jazz and has found opportunities to study it and play it in various settings. He now looks to share his jazz and Latin-inspired music with willing listeners.
