Paul Bonahora
Paul Bonahora was born on April 15th 1989 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was grown up listening to classic 80's music, and not many years had to pass by since he was born for feeling a strong passion for playing guitar. He lived in Caballito for 8 years and carried out his primary education at Colegio Integral Caballito. When he was 9 he moved to "Indio Cua", a neighborhood located in Pilar. He continued his education in the Northern International School and then moved to Del Viso Day School. His music studies started almost when he entered this last school. Paul studied music and guitar with a variety of private instructors and formed small bands in his way. One of these was "Mitos" which did not last for long, despite their most important hit which was the Jingle of a very important radio in Escobar: Viva el Deporte. He continued his way with Novva, and participated in the Pepsi Music Junior Festival in which Paul won the first prize as a guitarist. Paul finished his secondary studies and moved to Milan, Italy, searching for showing his talent. At the moment he is working on the album that will be released at the end of this year.
AbOUT Paul Bonahora
Paul Bonahora - Since he was a kid he always wanted to play guitar, but his parents thought he was just a spoiled boy willing to make some noise. At the age of 12, he was bought his first guitar: Samick, Stratocaster model. He started his private lessons with Jorge Dominguez, a very well trained musician. Jorge taught Paul the basics of guitar techniques and solid concepts of harmony. At the age of 15, Paul started to take lessons with an amazing and well known guitarist: Mr Charly Vega. Charly Vega being Paul's guitar Professor, was like day dreaming for him. One of the most well known Charly's Album was "Yngwie Malmsteen Revival", an Yngwie Malmsteen tribute, well known all around the world. Unfortunately, Charly died in an accident with his motorbike, and with all the sadness Paul was forced to find another professor. He extended his studies with another well known guitarist: Daniel Telis, former guitarist from Kamizake and Barilari. A couple of years after, Daniel "graduated" Paul from his school and continued his guitar and music studies in the endless way of learning.
