Carlos Cruz was born in Guatemala in March 1986. From a very young age the curiosity for music was very evident, but it was not until the age of 13 that he began with formal guitar studies. In 2004, Carlos decided to study music at the Universidad Del Valle de Guatemala. During these years he dedicated his life to satisfying his passion for music, playing guitar in bands of different musical genres as well as teaching guitar and music theory. During this same period Carlos was a member of a metal band "Silent Poetry". With this band, from 2009 to 2012, they played successfully on a tour throughout Central America.

In September of 2012, Carlos had the opportunity to travel to Canada, leaving everything behind in Guatemala. With very few resources and a single guitar he began his new life in Calgary Alberta. Since 2013 Carlos Cruz has managed to make music as a full-time job and profession, as well as creating music under Carlos Cruz Project.
