About the Artist
"I started playing classical guitar at a very young age on an acoustic guitar that my parents picked up in Tijuana before I was born. This souvenir was made of green wood and had nylon strings high above the fingerboard. Soon after I started lessons I dropped the guitar, splitting the body of the guitar open. My Dad put it back together with Elmers glue; he refused to buy me a new guitar until I proved that I would learn to play. Over the following months I dropped it three more times and three more times he glued it back together. There was a thick line of glue all around the guitar. After two years of playing I got a Les Paul copy for Christmas. I could almost taste that guitar I wanted it so bad. To the dismay of my classical teacher, it was time to plug-in."
Curtis, a native of southern California, released his self-titled debut CD on IF6WAS9 Records in 1998. Fifty percent of his profits from the sale of this CD are donated to Cancer related charities. His second CD, "Room 137", released April 2001 marked the next step in Curtis's instrumental journey, music that melds melodic rock, jazz and blues. His new release "Blue Electric Cool" proves to be his must compelling to date, adding Acid Jazz elements to the mix.
Curtis was nominated for "Guitarist of the Year" for the 11th Annual Los Angeles Music Awards and has been included in Music Connection Magazine's "100 Top Unsigned Bands".
Curtis performs through out southern California and beyond and has been actively involved in promoting the instrumental guitar scene in Los Angeles. He also appears on the Guitarapalooza compilation CD's Vol I and II.
