Unai Iker

Spanish guitarist Unai Iker first developed an interest in music at the age of 5 when his parents sent him to classical piano lessons. At the age of 12, influenced mainly by rock, he realized that what he really wanted was to play the electric guitar.

He is a versatile player, with considerable expertise in many genres: rock, blues, funk, country, acoustic, and pop. He is also an accomplished slide guitar player.

He began his higher education in music in Barcelona at the renowned “L’aula de Música Moderna y Jazz” when he was 18, graduating in 2009. He spent the next two years in London playing with several bands, before moving back to his native Spain in 2011. He has since been consistently involved with the local music scene, recording for many artists, and also playing soul, funk, blues/rock with artists such as Tim Austin Mitchell (James Brown) and Molly Duncan (Average White Band, Marvin Gaye, Eric Clapton).

Unai is a Yamaha Guitars official artist and is sponsored by brands like: Line 6, Bigtone Amplification, Magrabo Guitar Straps, The Rock Slide, Kahayan Pro Audio
