Juan Cruz is an Argentine independent musician who offers an eclectic style based on influences from rock, pop, and country. His first EP was recorded in the Dominican Republic in 2023 and is currently heard in more than 50 countries. It features collaborations with artists such as Emm Silverio, Kristie, Luis Armando, Guy Frómeta, and Adriana Garcell. In 2024, he began recording his second EP, collaborating with musicians such as Gonzalo Tejada and Ricardo Méndez.
Despite the routine demands of his job, Juan Cruz dedicates his free time to composing new songs, connecting with artists from around the world, and perfecting his acoustic and electric guitar techniques. The guitar is his songwriting instrument, and it can be heard in every song.
Juan Cruz grew up in Patagonia, Argentina, and studied for his Master's degree in Buenos Aires and the United States, where he lived for thirteen years. In 2019, he moved to the Dominican Republic, a country that impacted him personally and where he immersed himself in the local music scene. He currently lives in Lima, Peru.
No me busques is the EP's first single, in collaboration with Emm Silverio. In a world in constant need to increment the level of "reasoning" at all levels, the song is an attempt to put into perspective the need for love without interests, without conditions. Adriana Garcell's art with the cello guides a simple but at the same time deep melody. Like true love.
The EP's second single is a collaboration with Kristie. Avioncitos de papel is a fusion between pop rock and country, something somewhat rare in Latin music. It tells the story of a childhood love, the one that frequently occurs in the classroom and is never forgotten.
Ángel del olvido is a song that was composed by Juan Cruz over 20 years ago. It's one of those frequently untold stories where everything is okay between two people, but that's not enough. With arrangements by Emm Silverio, Ángel del olvido connects the talent of Dominican music with the enormous tradition of Argentine indie rock.
The live acoustic version of Ángel del olvido was recorded in Santo Domingo. Juan Cruz (guitar and vocals) and Emm Silverio (guitar) performed a slower version of the original song. The magic of recording in a live format provides a special feeling to this song. Two guitars and a microphone performing in one shot. No editing.
La Dosis (The Dose) was recorded in Lima, Peru. It's an international collaboration between Juan Cruz (Argentina), Emm Silverio (Dominican Republic), and Gonzalo Tejada (Peru). It's the story of a breakup in which both parties are guilty of not overcoming their fear of being together. A modern composition heavily influenced by acoustic indie pop, produced by award-winning musician Ricardo Méndez.
"Not Enough" is the first English-language single released as a collaboration between Juan Cruz (Argentina), Emm Silverio (Dominican Republic), and Gonzalo Tejada (Peru). The song's chorus explains it all: "I love you, I need you, this not enough." This single was first performed live in November 2024, in Lima. Like "La Dosis", this song was produced by Ricardo Méndez.
