Born in Bogota, Colombia, guitarist Javier Castellote discovered his interest in the musical arts at an early age. Influenced originally by American and British rock and roll, Javier ultimately found refuge in the intimate sounds of acoustic classical guitar; an instrument which is present in various folkloric genres in Spain and Latin America.
Javier's musical training began during adolescence. At the age of 19 Javier enrolled in the Academia de Artes Guerrero in Bogota where he studied music theory and jazz guitar for a brief period of time. In August of2001, Javier enrolled in the University of Nebraska at Omaha as music major with a concentration in classical guitar performance under the instruction of Hadley Heavin. Upon graduation Javier was awarded a graduate teaching assistantship to pursue a Masters degree in classical guitar performance at Middle Tennessee State University under the instruction of William Yelverton. During his time in Tennessee Javier participated in various guitar festivals and competitions, and placed second at the Beethoven's Club young artist competition in Memphis. Javier has played and received training from many renowned guitarists including Jason Vieaux, Ricardo Cobo, Carlos Perez, and Martha Masters.
Javier is influenced by many genres of music, but particularly enjoys the music of composers such as Toru Takemitsu, Claude Debussy, and lS. Bach. He is also very interested in the freedom and power of improvisation.
Currently Javier resides in Omaha, Nebraska with his wife Mandy. He is starting his own guitar studio and wishes to perform actively to enhance the appreciation for classical guitar in the Midwest.
