Who is Chris Perez?

Chris Perez was born on August 14, 1969, in San Antonio, Texas, to computer programmer Gilbert Pérez and Carmen Medina. He is of Mexican and American descent. Perez’s parents split when he was four years old, in 1974. In 1978, his mother remarried.

Pérez began playing the French horn in middle school and joined his school’s concert band with the help of his mother. Despite his mother’s reluctance due to the negative stereotypes connected with the rock-and-roll scene, he decided to train himself to play electric guitar. Van Halen, Mötley Crüe, Def Leppard, Kiss, the Scorpions, Ozzy Osbourne, and Iron Maiden were among Pérez’s favourite musicians. During the 1990s, he also grew to adore Ricky Martin. Carlos Santana inspired many of his guitar solos.

When he was seventeen, Pérez intended to run away to Los Angeles, California, to form a rock band. He shared a flat with his father at the time and worked at a library. In 1986, Tony Lares requested Pérez to join his cousin Shelly Lares’ band.

According to Lares, Shelly sang Tejano music, which is a blend of traditional Mexican folk music, polkas, and country music spoken in Spanish or English. Pérez despised Tejano music and admitted in To Selena, With Love that he joined Shelly’s band with “foot-dragging resistance” because it paid more than working at the library. After Tony quit the group, he became Shelly’s musical director , and he co-wrote three songs for Shelly’s debut album in 1989.
