Benjamín Opazo

My name is Benjamin Opazo, I was born and raised in Santiago, Chile.
I start playing drums at age of 15 in those typical school bands and once i finished school, kept developing in formal education studying classical percussion and music theory in the Catholic University Music Institute, popular music in Audiomusica and a performer degree in Projazz Institute.

I was and still being influenced by many musicians but i will specially mention two of them because they where a big influence in my music. Ricardo Muñoz, founder drummer of "Azeta" band, who i had the privilege to see playing since i was 7 years old, and the great chilean drummer Cristóbal Orozco who has taking national drumming to another level for the last 10 years, and personally influenced me through his private lessons.

Today my career as a musician is expanding from performing into production and I own "Fidelity Estudio", recording and drums-tracking studio, while still playing and giving lessons in Ñuñoa area.
