Yoatzin Anaya
Overview
Atlanta-based guitarist with 20+ years of experience across virtually every style - gospel, funk, rock, math rock, jazz fusion, and alt rock. I play gospel every week at church and move fluidly between genres depending on what the song calls for. Lead guitarist for Menu and Heart Surgeon No.1, a regular with the worship band Anointed Frequency, and currently developing solo material. Available for live gigs and touring, church and worship teams, and studio sessions. If you have a style not on this list, I can figure it out.

Gig length: 30 - 240 minutes
What to expect
I show up fully self-contained and bring all my own gear, so you don't need to worry about backline. For solo performances, I build dynamic, full-sounding sets using live looping and techniques like tapping, so there's never a dull moment even without a full band.
If you want something bigger, I can put together a band tailored to your event. I have connections with a lot of talented musicians and can assemble groups of varying sizes depending on what you need.
I'm also experienced as a fill-in guitarist and can slot into an existing band smoothly. Whatever the style, gospel, funk, rock, jazz fusion, metal, or anything else, I adapt to what the gig calls for. I can perform in English or Spanish.
About
I'm an Atlanta-based guitarist with 20+ years of experience across just about every style you can name. I play gospel every week at church and move comfortably across funk, rock, math rock, jazz fusion, alt rock, and metal. If there's a style not on that list, I can figure it out.
I'm the lead guitarist for Menu and Heart Surgeon No.1, a regular with Anointed Frequencies, and currently working on solo material. I came up playing in metal bands and have rotated through a long list of projects since, which is where the range comes from.
For solo performances, I bring my own gear and can deliver a full-sounding set using looping and extended techniques like tapping, no backing band required. I also know a wide network of talented musicians and can put together bands of varying sizes if a larger ensemble is what you need. I'm equally comfortable stepping in as a fill-in guitarist for any kind of band on short notice.
I'm available for live gigs and touring, church and worship teams, studio sessions, and everything in between. I perform in both English and Spanish.
Additional booking notes
I am fully self-contained and bring all my own gear. No backline or PA is required on your end. I run a pedalboard with looping capabilities and can fill a room as a solo act.
I have no specific technical requirements and am happy to work with whatever setup or venue conditions are available. I can adjust to small or large stages, indoor or outdoor settings.
