Originally from Los Angeles, California, Carlos Holguin eats, sleeps, and breathes music. He has an Associate’s Degree in Psychology, and one in Music from the College of Southern Nevada.

On any given night he can be found playing jazz, pop, or funk music in a casino lounge or show and/or playing Mexican norteño music at a concert or private event. With extensive experience playing a variety of styles of music like country, blues, funk, jazz and so much more, he has played in various bands as well as major production shows on the famous Las Vegas strip like MAMMA MIA the musical, Steve Wynn’s Showstoppers, OPIUM at the Cosmopolitan and many more.

Along with gigging and teaching private students, he is also an adjunct music professor at the College of Southern Nevada. He intends to challenge his students and help them push passed their limits and reach their musical goals.
