Broadcasting live from the historic Lodge Room in Los Angeles. Grand Performances presents #JulioYSuTecladoMágico in celebration of Mexican Independence Day!

Julio is a singer, composer, musician, writer, and keyboard artist from Los Angeles. Oh, and by the way... he is blind. His love for music started at a very young age. Despite his disability, he fought against all odds and started composing songs, and learned how to play piano by heart. Even at the young age of 10, he quickly learned that music was his passion and his way of expressing himself. Julio has performed in numerous bands, playing in styles ranging from Reggae, Latin, Cumbia tropical, and Rhythm and Blues.
