Ralph Guzman is now living in Von Ormy, Texas, a small town, about 10 miles south of San Antonio. He was born in Laon, France. His father Ramon Guzman was in the Air Force and they moved frequently, living in Spain, Belgium and Germany before moving to the United States. His musical interest started when he was five years old, when he started playing harmonica and by the next year, was using his mother’s knitting needles for drumsticks, or anything he could get his hands on for drums. At age thirteen, while living in Spain, he joined a country and western band and played at NCO clubs, parties and various festivals. And by the eleventh grade, he was playing guitar and singing. The talented artist also plays guitar, bass, keyboards but says he loves drums the most. He is also very adept at producing and engineering for himself, as wellas other artists. Ralph penned his first song in the early 80’s, and has been writing every since. The 35 year old singer songwriter says: “I enjoy writing because it is self satisfying to have an idea come from the heart or one of life’s experiences and then put it to music. But the greatest satisfaction comes when someone tells you they can relate to it.” His musical influences were Elvis, Beatles, Kiss, Doobie Brothers, Chicago, Eddie Rabbit, George Strait, Bryan Adams, Journey, Skig Ewing, AC/DC, which is easy to tell, by the various styles he plays. Ralphs talent and hard work has given him the opportunity to open for such notables as Eddy Raven, Gary Stewart, Steve Wairner, Pat Travers, David Ball, Doug Stone, Johnny Lee and Lori Morgan.
