Biography
Pedro Martín José María Suárez-Vértiz Alva was born on 13 February 1969 in Callao, Perú. He was born in the "Hospital Naval del Callao", because his mother and his maternal grandfather belonged to the Marina de Guerra del Perú for many years. His younger brother, Patricio Suárez-Vétiz, is also a musician. They spent their whole childhood and adolescence in San Isidro, in front of the Olivar park, which is his favorite park in the world.
Pedro was passionate for the music since he was a little child. By the age of one, Pedro settled the ornaments of his house down like a xylophone and smacked then with a wand to get melodies out of them. His father immediately bought him an old celesta Dulcitone, Pedro's first musical instrument. Just a few years later, his parents could buy him a piano.
He knew he wanted to be a singer when saw for the first time the movie A Hard Day's Night, in which the famous English band The Beatles appears.
He learned to play the piano and the guitar before he began school. At the age of 18, he attended the University of Lima, graduating with a degree in communications. In 1985 he formed his first band, "Paranoia", together with his brother Patricio Suárez Vértiz and school friends Edward Málaga-Trillo, Arturo Pomar, Eduardo Quevedo and Alex Kornhuber. In 1987, he formed the band Arena Hash with his brother Patricio, Arturo Pomar and Christian Meier. A few years later the band broke up and Vértiz began a solo career.
