Manuel Turizo Biography

Turizo, who was up in the coastal town of Montera, Colombia, started writing music at the age of thirteen. When Turizo was born in 2000, his parents gave his older brother Julian who was only two years old a guitar and a microphone so he would “…not get jealous” of the attention they would be giving to the newborn Manuel.

Years later, Turizo tried to learn how to play his brother’s guitar but thought he lacked the talent, so he started honing his singing voice instead.

After taking singing lessons from a Cuban music instructor, he changed his mind about his original career aspiration, which was to be a veterinarian.

When he was younger, Turizo would sing along to his favorite songs to hone his vocal skills, with his brother providing vocal harmonies, guitar, and ukulele accompaniment. Later, while his brother was away in Medelln pursuing his post-graduate degree, he started creating songs more frequently.
