Cuban singer-songwriter Amaury Gutierrez has a solid musical education, which started in high school years and stretched through his time at a musical conservatory, where he specialized in choral direction, and studied piano and guitar. For three years after graduating, he was required, as all young Cubans are, to perform social work in a mountainous region in the heart of Cuba. However, there Amaury would become inspired by a diversity of native music which would shape his tastes for years to come. Amaury then moved to Havana and worked with world-renowned composer and trumpet player Arturo Sandoval, who was impressed with Gutierrez's vocal prowess. When Gutierrez had the opportunity to travel outside of Cuba to Mexico with a musical group, he seized the moment and defected. Next stop: a dream come true. In 2004, Gutierrez was granted political asylum in the U.S. and relocated to Miami. Since then, he signed to Sony/ATV Discos Music Publishing and has routinely been at the top of the Latin Billboard charts, not only performing his own songs, but those written for other artists, such as his top hit, "Nada es Para Siempre," performed by Luis Fonsi. Amaury is currently finishing work on a soon-to-be-released album.
