For the first time ever, @jjavierreyes of Animals as Leaders sat down in Dubai with Melody House at MNK Studios. In our exclusive interview, you’ll hear Javier open up about how the band crafts their intricate riffs and rhythms, the evolution of his signature thumping technique, and his long-standing relationship with ESP Guitars. Along with his insightful stories, we also had the chance to meet the human behind the artist.
This was the perfect start to the ESP Experience: 50th Anniversary Celebration, where Javier left a mark on the Melody House stage that Dubai will not forget.
