Early life and career

Juanes was born in Antioquia, Colombia, del Prncipe. His father and brothers began to instruct him how to play guitar when he was seven years old. His passion for the instrument led him to discover simple genres of music, such as tango and Vallenato, as well as Russian folk music.

He grew up in Medelln during the reign of drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, who was the city had the world's highest murder rate. Juanes lived through a civil war in which hundreds of people were killed during his childhood. Abducted cousins were murdered by kidnappers, and gunmen shot and killed a close friend. His father died of cancer, contributing to Juane's grief and sperm. "Colombia has suffered so much that the only way to move forward is to imagine a better world," Juanes said.

Juanes, as a youth, was heavily influenced by rock and metal bands like The Beatles and Metallica. He formed Ekhymosis in 1988, and the band's debut album, Nio Gigante, was released the same year. During its career, the band recorded seven studio albums and performed on the stage with artists including Alejandro Sanz, Aterciopelados, and Ricky Martin; however, the band "couldn't get out of Colombia" and remained "very local and limited to the Colombian market," in Juanes' words. Juanes disbanded the company in 1998 so that he could pursue a solo career.
