Born with six strings practically welded to his hands, Cesar picked up the guitar at 15 and hasn’t put it down since (mainly because it makes eating soup nearly impossible). A multi-instrumentalist at heart, he’ll dabble on anything that makes noise, but the guitar remains his first love—mostly because it never talks back.

Having wandered through more bands than most people cycle through Netflix shows, he eventually found his musical soulmate in Bounce House Ska, where his riffs are questionable, the horn section is bouncy, and the energy is somewhere between “skanking in a circle” and “mild cardio workout.”

While his dreams of superstardom involve sold-out arenas, world tours, and possibly a line of signature socks, at the core he just wants to make great music that hits as hard as an unexpected trombone solo. Whether he’s shredding, strumming, or accidentally unplugging his amp mid-song, one thing’s certain: he’s here to make sure the party never stops—unless someone yells “encore,” in which case it absolutely does not stop.
