Chetes grew up in Monterrey. His father was a founding member of the rock band Los Rockets, which got Chetes into music. At age 7, he learned classic guitar, and used to like artists like Beatles and the Beach Boys. When MTV arrived into the city, Chetes got excited about rock music so he learned about guitar distortion.
Chetes then joined the band Zurdok in 1993, that was formed then by Fletch Sáenz and David Izquierdo. The band recived a recording contract to Discos Manicomio, when he was only 16. With Zurdok, Garza recorded 3 albums: Antena, Hombre Sintetizador and Maquillaje. In 2002, Zurdok disbanded due to artistical differences and Chetes took a break. In 2005, Zurdok bandmate Maurizio Terracina and Garza made new project band along Rodrigo Guardiola called Vaquero, with all their songs in English. Vaquero is now in hiatus and it is uncertain whether they will record a sequel to their debut eponymous album.
Chetes had already materials for the recording. "Que me maten" and "Poco a Poco" were written during the Vaquero era, but they coud not fit into the band's style. He sent demos and Ken Coomer, ex-drummer of Wilco and Uncle Tupelo got hooked about Chetes's sounds and decided to be the producer of the album. Garza stayed in Nashville for october 2005, recording and writing songs with Coomer and his engineer, Charlie Brocco. These songs were recorded in track and had no electronic instrumentation, with heavy influences from The Beatles and The Beach Boys.
In May 2006, Blanco Fácil, the title of the album, was released. So far, it has sold nearly 50,000 copies, the benchmark for being certified gold in Mexico. The first single of his album "Blanco Fácil", the song "Completamente", led to a 2006 Latin Grammy nomination for best rock song, some heavy iTunes Latino promotion, and a much-played video that features a bundled-up Garza singing his way down the streets of Beijing. The second single is "Poco a poco" and there is a scheduelded third single "Que me maten".
Chetes also collaborated with Amaral in the cover of Miguel Bose's song "Si tu No Vuelves" for the soundtrack of the movie Efectos Secundarios and with Emmanuel del Real with the song "16 de Febrero" for the movie "Fuera del Cielo".
In late August 2007, he finished recording his 2nd solo album, which is suposed to come out at the end of the year.

Chetes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y el mundo fuera diferente
Si te pudiera alcanzar
Llegar a donde estas
Si te pudiera borrar
Completamente de mi mente
En esta historia jamás
Llegamos al final
Si te pudiera olvidar oh, oh, oh
Hey, todo lo tienes completamente
Y te parece todo ser muy poco
Si miro hacia atrás
De pronto todo se detiene
Mientras tus sueños se van
Haciendo realidad
Mientras tus sueños se van oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, todo lo tienes completamente
Y te parece todo ser muy poco
Hey, así como eres completamente
Aunque parezca todo ser muy pronto
Si la suerte esta contigo
Solo tienes que esperar
Que todo va a ponerse en su lugar
Serías tú tal vez
Quisiera yo saber
Pones mi cabeza a rodar
Hey, todo lo tienes completamente…
Hey, todo lo tienes completamente
Y te parece todo ser muy poco
Hey, así como eres completamente
Aunque parezca todo ser muy pronto
Hey, así como eres completamente
Y te parece todo ser muy poco
Hey, así como eres completamente
Aunque parezca todo ser muy pronto
The lyrics to Chetes's song Completamente delve into the theme of regret and the desire to move on from a past relationship. The singer expresses a wish to forget the person who has caused them pain and to move towards a future that is different from their current reality. The opening lines reveal a deep longing to forget the person completely and to be able to reach them, indicating a sense of unresolved feelings towards that person.
The song's chorus repeats the theme of "todo lo tienes completamente" or "you have everything completely," highlighting the paradox that the person who has caused pain in the singer's life also has complete control over their emotions. The repetition of the line "te parece todo ser muy poco" further emphasizes the singer's frustration at feeling like they are not enough for the person they desire.
The third verse introduces the idea of luck and waiting for things to fall into place. However, the final lines, "Hey, así como eres completamente, aunque parezca todo ser muy pronto" convey a sense of resignation and acceptance that things may never work out with this person. The song ends on a bittersweet note of longing and acceptance.
