Pedro Martín José María Suárez-Vértiz Alva (born February 13, 1968 in Callao, Peru) is a Peruvian singer-songwriter-guitarist. He learned to play the piano and the guitar before he began school. At the age of 18, he attended the University of Lima, graduating with a degree in communications. In 1985 he formed his first band, "Paranoia", together with his brother Patricio Suárez Vértiz and school friends Edward Malaga Trillo, Arturo Pomar, Eduardo Quevedo and Alex Kornhuber. In 1987, he formed the popular local rock band Arena Hash with his brother Patricio, Arturo Pomar and Christian Meier. A few years later the band broke up because Vértiz began a solo career. He is the winner of Orgullosamente Latino 2004 (Proudly Latin 2004) and winner of the Best Latin Soloist of the Year in Mexico.
