Raül Martínez Gullón is my full name. I'm a 26 year old guitarist, photographer and designer born in Valencia (Spain) in September, 1985. My music career started the very first time I started listening to music, at the age of 3, or even less.

My very first musical instrument was the Recorder (flute) that every kid plays at school. I have always been seduced by other percussion instruments as the xylophone, drums, etc. But piano and guitar were the ones that I felt in love with. At the age of 15 at school, a musical test told me that I was gifted for music. Easy compositing, understanding of odd music rhythms, time signatures, etc. After a long period of thinking which instrument I would love to learn, I decided to give a try to the instrument my cousins played since they were young: the guitar.

I started studying in Duetto School Of Music (named later as "L'Espai Musical") with Toni Cotolí and Jorge Lario as teachers of guitar technique and music theory. I studied the first and half of the second level (out of three) into this school until I had to withdraw due money problems. Since 2003 I started playing by myself becoming self-taught in some areas of the guitar technique. That’s why I’m far from perfect. Nowadays, I'm finally doing my first record, unnamed by now. The first song is now live on iTunes, and you can buy it here.

Into the design area, I started painting cars for the “F1 Challenge 99-02” game by ISI/EA Sports and that led me into the self-taught experience of being an artist. In 2009, in collaboration with CTDP, I have done 3 cars for the “Superleague Formula” videogame, in collaboration with ISI, being my first approach to real PC-Game developement. In addition, I am interested in real helmet and designing. My very first real helmet I designed was for Roberto Pedrero, a friend of mine. Future plans are to design real racing cars and helmets. During the years, my technique improved and I have been doing designs for professional people like Angel Santos (Ferrari Challenge driver, 3rd into 2008 World Championship. Painting job), Victor de Andrés (Spanish guitarist. First European to be Schecter Endorser. Website), Jose Colomina (Conductor and Trumpeter. Winner of the National Bands Championship. Website). Finally, my best proyect (yet to achieve global success) is privepic.com, a Twitter image hosting service known as the very first to be ONLY for your followers, aimed for locked accounts. This was made with help of @Soukron and @Cachi who made the code and the infrastructures for the site.

Finally, as a Photographer, my passion began when I was young. My father had a Olympus OM101 SLR Camera, which made me gain interest into Photography at an early stage. Nowadays, and with the help and the equipment of my dear Girlfriend Silvia, I have made some Photograpic Reports for weddings, baptisms, etc. as a Freelance Photographer.

My future plans are to finish my studies, and of course, try to leave my life as a dream!
