Mando Saenz is a singer-songwriter living in Nashville, Tennessee. He has released three full albums: ''Watertown'' (2005), ''Bucket'' (2008), and ''Studebaker'' (2013). All three albums were released by Carnival Recording Company. He writes for Carnival Music and has had songs recorded by Eli Young Band, Whiskey Myers, Stoney LaRue, Wade Bowen, Lee Ann Womack, and Shelly Colvin. ==Biography== Saenz was born in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, but was moved to North Carolina at two months old. Another move in fourth grade took his family to Corpus Christi, Texas, where his father, recently retired from the U.S. Army, set up a medical practice and Corpus Christi became home. His family was very musical and his parents encouraged him to play, exposing his to a wide range of musical styles. As a result he began taking guitar lessons in his early teens. After graduation, Saenz enrolled at Texas Tech and later earned an MBA from San Antonio. Degree in hand, Saenz found the call to create music too strong to ignore. When he chose a move to Houston over Austin because his brother set up a studio in the former, he was exposed to another world. “It was a good time to be a musician in Houston. A lot of us, like Hayes Carll and John Evans, were there together. I was in inner-city Houston, and it was just so cool—huge and unlike anywhere I’d ever lived.” 〔http://mandosaenzmusic.com/〕 In Houston Saenz began playing local open mic nights and recording with his brother. His biggest break came when he was discovered by award-winning country music producer Frank Liddell (Miranda Lambert, Eli Young Band, David Nail, Stoney LaRue). Liddell signed Saenz to both publishing (Carnival Music) and recording deals (Carnival Recording Company) in Nashville, Tennessee. After moving to Nashville, Saenz released three albums with Carnival Recording Company, Watertown in 2005, Bucket in 2008, and 2013's Studebaker. Studebaker, released June 4, 2014, was produced by Mark Nevers (Lambchop, Bobby Bare, Jr., Andrew Bird). Kenny Vaughan, Pete Finney, Jedd Hughes, Kim Richey, and Bobby Bare, Jr., all made cameo appearances on the record.〔http://mandosaenzmusic.com/〕 Saenz also has written songs with and for a large number of artists. Saenz co-wrote every track save one on Stoney LaRue’s 2011 album ''Velvet''—which scored three No. 1 singles on the Texas Music Chart—along with all of the songs on Shelly Colvin’s ''Up the Hickory, Down the Pine'', which features her recording of “Pocket Change”. Wade Bowen’s recording of “Bottle into Gold”, which he wrote with Saenz, hit No. 1 on the Texas Music Chart. Eli Young Band, Whiskey Myers, and more also joined Saenz’s growing list of collaborators, while others such as Lee Ann Womack have rediscovered and recorded his solo-written work. Saenz has also done background vocals for a number of artists including Miranda Lambert and Stoney LaRue. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mando Saenz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
