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 ↴
En palabras nadie puede explicar, de verdad
Cómo se creó todo el universo
Hay preguntas que por siempre quedarán
sin contestar
Cada uno tiene su filosofía
Hoy somos una emoción
Mañana solo una pieza
Buscando un lugar
Todo tiene que encajar
Solo somos una pieza
Buscando un lugar
Cada decisión afecta el futuro
A veces para bien y otras para mal, qué será
Todos mis recuerdos cambian con el tiempo
Voy cambiando de manera de pensar, al pasar
Hoy somos una emoción
Mañana solo una pieza
Buscando su lugar
Todo tiene que encajar
Solo somos una pieza
Buscando un lugar
Buscando un lugar
Buscando un lugar
Buscando un lugar
Buscando un lugar
The lyrics to the song "Una Pieza" by Chetes explore the complexity of human emotions and how they relate to the larger universe. The first verse begins with the idea that no one can truly explain the depth of their emotions with words, and compares this to the unanswerable questions of the creation of the universe. The second verse continues to reflect on the individual philosophies and paths that people take in life, highlighting the uncertainty and constant search for meaning.
The chorus emphasizes the transience of emotions and experiences, with the line "Today we are one emotion, tomorrow just a piece." Despite the fleeting nature of our experiences, there is a sense of hope as we continue to search for our place in the world, emphasizing the importance of finding where we fit and how we belong. The song concludes with a repetition of the phrase "looking for a place," a reflection of the ongoing search for meaning and purpose.
Overall, "Una Pieza" is a contemplative song that invites listeners to reflect on the complexity of their emotions and how they fit into the larger picture of the universe. It acknowledges the transience of experiences while offering a sense of optimism in the search for meaning and belonging.
