Mando Saenz

Born in San Luis Potosi, Mexico and raised in Corpus Christi by his music-loving parents on an eclectic diet of 60s-era songwriters, traditional Mexican music and the Everly brothers, Mando Saenz began guitar lessons at the age of 11.

But the realization that he could write and perform music for a living didn’t hit until he had done the 'responsible thing' and earned an MBA - if only to stick it in his back pocket.

He began playing live full-time and the response was encouragement enough to launch his career in DIY fashion. Soon, he joined the line of notable singer-songwriters to chronicle their lives in Texas via his album Watertown - originally self-released until landing in the hands of Carnival Music.

2008 has seen the release of his follow-up album Bucket, again on Carnival.
