The guitarist for the New York-based progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria, known for hits like “A Favor House Atlantic,” has built a strong legacy in the music world. Before rising to fame, he was part of a trio named Shabutie, which eventually transformed into the well-known group Coheed and Cambria. Growing up, he was one of four siblings in a Puerto Rican family, where music and creativity played a big role. In 2009, he married Chondra Echert, and together they’ve not only shared life but also creative projects, including collaborating on graphic novels. The couple welcomed a son named Atlas, who’s become an important part of their journey. As a key figure in the band, his influence continues to shape the sound and vision of Coheed and Cambria.
He created the comic book series The Amory Wars as a way to expand and enrich his music, giving fans a deeper look into the world he imagined. He wanted to tell a story that went beyond the songs, and through The Amory Wars, he brought that vision to life in a whole new format. Over time, The Amory Wars became more than just a side project—it evolved into an essential part of his artistic expression. In crafting The Amory Wars, he blended narrative and melody, showing how deeply connected the two were in his mind.
