Says Montana about his unique musical style, "It's time to get all Renaissance on it's ass, and breakthrough." He uses the name Montana Jose to help transcend limits and boundaries, as a result, creating relationships. His, “feel free to feel free” policy leads to something few today still are… AN ARTIST.

Making music since he was fifteen to feed the soul.  A day without music is a lost day.
I think the best biography is talking about you, no one is invented.

Haciendo música desde los quince años para alimentar el alma. Un día sin música es un día perdido.
Pienso que la mejor biografía es la que habla por ti, no la que uno se trata de inventar.
