Luis Alberto Cuevas Olmedo was born in Santiago de Chile. He was the lead singer of the band La Ley for 15 years. He travelled Latin America, Europe and the US with his fellow musicians Mauricio Clavería and Pedro Frugone. He achieved great success with La Ley and reached his climax with songs such as “El Duelo”, “Aquí”, “Fuera de Mí” and “Cielo Market”, among others.
Before deciding to split with La Ley more than 3 years ago, he had already realized that his artistic life had fallen into a comfort zone from which he needed a change and a breath of new experiences. “It was like suicide, an anticipated death, because passion had become routine.” “Everything was part of a natural process. I finished a stage with La Ley and I needed to do my own things. It was very healthy what we did, and we did it in a very coherent way. We concluded La Ley’s stage with the album “Libertad”, and then it came the “Best Hits”… that’s how we closed the chapter”, he explains.
Even though “Miedo Escénico” was already expected two years ago, without that title of course, Beto wasn’t in any hurry or in the need to be in a spotlight. He gave himself some time and space to gather thoughts that were then transported to musical notes, verses, and ideas, so he finally finished it this year.
He says that he was influenced by the feeling of detachment, by the quest for a life far away from routine, and by the feeling of a missing goal and challenge that some times puzzled him. “I had forgotten about the daily life, because I was encapsulated in a schematic job. I came closer to my family and friends… I feel that I was re-introduced to a society that worked in a different way than that which I knew before I joined the band. My songs came from all this process and these are the songs that I’m ready to show now.”
