Pabo Rizo was born the 1st of March, 1985 in Elche (Alicante), he began to play guitar at 18 when he was given a classical guitar by their parents as a present for passing his university entrance examination.
By this time his main inspiration was Metallica, he listened their albums for hours trying to play their riffs with the classical guitar, and soon he reached some good skills with the 6 strings.
As soon as he got a electric guitar, he begun to play in local bands, playing covers and even their own stuff. He also played the bass guitar for some time.
After this, He begun his classical guitar studies at the conservatory of Elche, which combines with his engineering studies at Univerity of Alicante. He is part of the Guitar Orquesthra directed by Miguel García Ferrer (www.comunaguitarra.com).
