Sharon: When I was a student at the Musicians’ Institute, they brought the audition to my attention and reserved me a spot. GGM: How did you find out about the Cee-Lo audition, and what was your initial reaction when you got selected? Other band members were Ashlee Williss, Brookes Regenhardt, and Allyn McNamara. My vocalist from Pretty Little Problem, Britt Burton, and I are currently working on a new girl band called Miss President. It was a fun project, and we wrote some cool pop-rock tunes, of which one was placed on Fefe Dobson’s album “Joy.” The song was also placed on “American Idol” and “Hellcats”. Pretty Little Problem was an all female band that my friends and I started in 2009. Sharon: I actually have only played in all female bands, with the exception of having a male drummer on the 2ne1 tour. What was Pretty Little Problem all about, and who else were in that band besides you? GGM: You’re really no stranger to being in a female band, because you were in one prior to auditioning for Cee-Lo.

In all fairness, many really tight bands with incredible musicianship learned that incredible musicianship and how to be and sound professional by playing in cover bands and learning what works on stage and what doesn’t. The other, isn’t work at all because it is original artistic expression.

Sharon: You can’t really compare the two because one is just a gig where people that want to be pro in the future cut their teeth. Is it not fair to compare bands that play original music to those that are either cover bands or pay tribute to a certain act or acts? GGM: Prior to auditioning for Cee-Lo back in 2010, you were in some tribute bands, as well as some original ones. My father showed me “The Song Remains the Same” video of Zeppelin, and I remember watching Jimmy Page and thinking…I want to do that! He looked so cool standing there with his guitar all slung down low almost to his knees, while playing with so many cool echo effects, with his distortion feeding back…so rockstar!
Sharon: Yes, it definitely played a huge role in my decision to become a professional guitarist. Was the classic rock that your father listened to, like Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, a big influence in your decision to eventually become a professional guitarist? At the same time, you also learned guitar playing. GGM: After moving to Miami, you took up violin at a magnet school, which led to you playing in local youth symphonies. Our society tends to get caught up with brands and trends, but my first-hand experience from living on the very basics keeps me grounded. It really made me appreciate the things that I have now so much more. I have a very big family, and all of the joy and love that I received from being around them more than made up for the lack of amenities from home. Sharon: At first it was a culture shock, I was used to the comforts of having my own bedroom and space, as well as heated showers and air conditioning. But how did you get used to “roughing it” during your time there without heating, air conditioning or hot water? Even though you were raised in Miami, you did go back to Panama for some education while a teenager. GGM: You were born in Panama to an American serviceman and his Panamanian wife. I grew up listening to classic rock, and even have video of me headbanging to Led Zeppelin’s ‘In My Time of Dying” in my playpen! The Guess Who was my first concert, my father took me to see them when I was a teenager. Sharon: My father was always really into classic rock music. What was the first rock concert you attended? GGM: I thought I’d start this interview off with a fun question for you, Sharon.
