Chuy

My Name is Jesus (Chuy) Hernandez; I was born in Mexicali, BC
in 1952. I began as a trumpet player at the age of eleven in the school band. I
continued to play all through Jr. High and High school thanks to the support of
my parents: Esteban and Eva Hernandez. 
 
I continued my education at Loyola Mary Mount University where
I acquired my bachelors of arts in education. In 1975, I began my mariachi
career with Pedro Rey (my older brother) and Los Galleros. By the then I had
become a guitar player and no longer played the trumpet.
 
My musical evolution took me to eventually start Mariachi Sol
de Mexico with my brother Jose Hernandez in 1981. To this day, I am still
playing with Mariachi Sol de Mexico and enjoying every minute of it.
 
I thank God everyday for the little talent that he has given
me; only he knows how long my tenure will be. "Viva el Mariachi"!
