Jorge Villamizar

Colombian-born singer, songwriter, and guitarist Jorge Villamizar skilled many years of success within the band Bacilos before getting into a single career. Born Oct 14, 1970, in Montería, Córdoba, Colombia, he transferred with his family members to Quito, Ecuador, at age group ten. Influenced with the Beatles in addition to folk music from the Andes, he had taken a deep curiosity about music of these years. At age group 15 he went to a Soda Stereo system concert in Quito that still left a long lasting impression upon him and motivated him to create music of his very own. At age group 18 he came back to Colombia and became a member of the Navy, where he handed down enough time with songwriting and electric guitar playing. He eventually transferred to London to review for some time and then transferred to Miami, FL, in 1992. Through the middle-’90s, while he was participating in the School of Miami, Villamizar produced the rock and roll en español music group Bacilos with classmates André Lopes (bass) and José Javier Freire (percussion). Bacilos produced their full-length documenting debut using the individually released recording Madera (1999). A major-label documenting agreement with Warner Music Latina adopted, producing a group of acclaimed albums — Bacilos (2000), Caraluna (2002), and Sin Vergüenza (2004) — along with a greatest-hits collection, Grandes Exitos (2006). Over time Bacilos received multiple Latin Grammys and obtained many hit singles, especially “Tabaco con Chanel,” “Caraluna,” “Mi Primer Millón,” “Pasos de Gigante,” and “Contigo Se Va.” Furthermore, Villamizar outsourced his songwriting capability, co-writing tunes with Marc Anthony (“Viviendo”), Obie Bermúdez (“Así Me Siento Hoy”), Julieta Venegas (“Limón con Sal”), among others; plus, he co-wrote many tunes on Paulina Rubio’s recording Pau-Latina (2004). Following a 2007 separation of Bacilos, Villamizar produced his full-length single recording debut with Jorge Villamizar (2008). Released by Warner Music Latina, the recording spawned the strike solitary “Ninguna” and includes a cooperation with Julieta Venegas (“Dime Quien”).
