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.
El Sonido De Tu Voz
Chetes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Veo fantasmas en la madrugada
Y mi mente está pegada en la pantalla
No tengo miedo, pero ya no puedo más
Extraño el sonido de tu voz
Extraño el sonido de tu voz
Veo fantasmas en la madrugada
No tengo miedo, pero el sueño se me va
Extraño el sonido de tu voz
Extraño el sonido de tu voz
In "El Sonido De Tu Voz," Chetes seems to be experiencing a sense of loneliness and longing for someone special. He sees ghosts in the early hours of the morning, almost as if he is haunted by his own thoughts. He admits that his mind is glued to the screen, possibly a reference to technology and social media that can distract us from being present in the moment. However, despite not feeling scared, he can no longer continue feeling this way. He misses the sound of a particular person's voice, and it seems to be the one thing that could make him feel better.
The repetition of "Extraño el sonido de tu voz" creates a powerful emotional impact. It's clear that the sound of this person's voice provides comfort and a sense of home for Chetes. Perhaps he's not able to physically be with this person, and the sound of their voice is the only connection he can hold onto. This is a common theme in music, and Chetes delivers it beautifully, with a sense of vulnerability and raw emotion.

Chetes es cantante y musico, Mexico es muy afortunado de tener a musicos como el, aunque sean pocos, pero que sea mexicano es un orgullo.

Dedicada a todas las dulces muchachas que vengan a oírla para revivir lindas memorias, esos enigmas amorosos, recordando aventuras que aparecieron en su cielo azul y luego desvanecieron en la nada, como una estrella fugaz.
