Q&A:
MAJ: When did you become interested in music and why?
GARZÓN-MONTANO: I became interested in music as a child. My mother was a mezzo soprano. She also played cello, piano, guitar and saxophone. Since I can remember, my sister and I sang with her in the house and went with her to concerts. At the age of three, I made a sloppy attempt to steal a pair of drumsticks from her friend Cecilia, not realizing that the sticks were visibly poking out from the back pocket of my pants. When I was six, I started Suzuki method violin lessons and began singing in the children’s choir of the New York City Opera when I was 10. Rock and roll started when I was 12. My Dad bought me a yellow strat.
