    Artist History
    The Vitchev brothers were born in Sofia, Bulgaria in 1980 (Hristo) and 1978 (Vladimir). Both of them had interest in music from an early age, but it was not until Hristo was 12 that they discovered the guitar. Hristo was the first one to start playing, his brother following after a couple of months. This initial encounter sparked a passionate and serious interest in mastering the secrets of the instrument, as well as music in general. In 1989 the Vitchev family moved to Caracas, Venezuela. While there, in 1994, the brothers formed their first band. Even though their main influences were guitar oriented, the format of the band was very rigid and didn’t permit any stylistic deviations. After moving to the United States in 1996, the brothers started experimenting with many different musical concepts, while maintaining their religious guitar routine, which sometimes exceeded ten hours per day. It was at this point when they decided to disregard completely the notion of style. This idea came as the only viable solution for achieving complete freedom of expression. It evolved to the point of being the main ingredient behind the new album. Currently Hristo and Vladimir reside in the San Francisco Bay Area and are engaged in promoting their present material as well as working on new music.
