I've been playing music since I was 5, and nothing has stopped it from being a part of my life until now. While my technical expertise is limited and I'm not great at playing any particular instrument, I love making music and play around with melodies, harmonies, and beats that are simple but surprising. I love to work with voices, guitars, keyboards, bass guitars, drums, computers, and anything that may make some noise. I see it as a way to capture what goes on on my mind and what goes on around me.

My influences range from latin folk to heavy metal to choral music and so on, but I particularly look for and pursue simplicity and honesty in what listen to, and I try to project those values into what I compose. I guess most of what I’ve made so far falls into the broad Alternative Rock genre, which is what I grew up listening to during my formative years.

I've been part of several bands and musical projects. Most recently I started Gran Capitals, the band I formed with my brother Roberto and close friends, with which we put together several of the songs I had composed and released 2 albums, 2014's "Rey Tuerto", our self-produced debut , and 2015's "Nada Raro", its follow-up EP produced by the acclaimed chilean producer Pablo Stipicic.

In 2015 I left Chile and Gran Capitals physically, but continued managing the band's affairs, content production, and marketing and distribution efforts until today. I'm currently in the UK working on new material to be released in the future in the right time, in the right place, and under the right identity.

Thanks for stopping by!

Are you ready for a new adventure? New m83 album 'Fantasy' is out March 17: http://m83.it/fantasySo

Gran Capitals es una atrevida apuesta rockera cargada de energía y del ímpetu propio de las influencias de sus integrantes (desde el rock clasico de los '70 al indie de los '00 y '10), pero con la elegancia melódica y sonora que privilegia la música alternativa actual. El resultado es un rock alternativo ambicioso y accesible a la vez, capturando elementos de bandas como Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer, o Radiohead, pero con un resultado propio, fresco, y escaso en la escena musical Chilena. Ese resultado es uno de yuxtaposiciones: Gran Capitals es fatalismo, pero fatalismo feliz; Gran Capitals es protesta, pero protesta elegante. 

Desde sus orígenes en 2011 Gran Capitals ha ido a su propio ritmo, un ritmo en que se siente que la música siempre está primero--música que ha incluido letras en español e inglés, power ballads así como heavy riffs rompetímpanos, melodías y armonías etéreas así como gritos destemplados. En las propias palabras de sus fundadores, "simplemente hacemos el rock que nos gusta". 

Tras múltiples lineups en que llegaron a ser hasta 6 miembros a la vez, Gran Capitals hoy (2021) reside en Chile e Inglaterra, y ha vuelto a sus orígenes con sus 3 fundadores Roberto Yáñez, Daniel Yáñez, y Daniel Ferreira, quienes están plenamente concentrados en su nuevo material: Un "A-list" de 20+ canciones a ser producidos y lanzados durante 2021 en adelante.
