Part of who am I is my tone but first let me explain where did “Tonezz” come from!

Why “Tonezz”?
The nickname “Tonezz” came from Andrés’ reputation for crafting precise, powerful guitar tones in live shows. Known for his work with different artists, he’s recognized for blending tech and musicality — making his sound a signature part of the performance. I would say my guitar tone is tight and articulate, with enough midrange presence to sit confidently over heavy 808s and synths, but also warmth and depth for emotional, melodic moments.
