If you had told me ten years ago that I’d be here today, writing my own lyrics and singing my own songs, I would have laughed. Not out of arrogance, but out of a sheer disbelief that the path I was on could ever lead me here. My story isn’t just about changing countries or buying new gear; it’s about the slow, deliberate process of finding a voice—both literally and figuratively.
My name is Anderson Pulgar, but in the world of melodies and rhythms, I am Andertak3r. I am a Venezuelan producer and singer, and my current home is the vibrant, artistic soil of Argentina. But to understand where I am, you have to know where I started.
The Foundation: A Universe in a Beat
It all began in Venezuela, surrounded by the infectious energy of my homeland. Music was always the undercurrent of life—the salsa in the kitchen, the reggaeton blasting from cars, the soulful boleros from my parents' generation. But for me, the magic wasn't just in listening; it was in deconstructing. I found my first language not in words, but in beats.
Producing was my way of building worlds. With just a computer and a dream, I learned to layer drums, craft basslines, and weave samples into something new. It was a solitary passion, a sanctuary where I had complete control. I was a storyteller, but my stories were instrumental, told through the feeling a chord progression could evoke or the energy a kick drum could unleash.
The Leap: Building a New Home, Note by Note
Moving to Argentina seven years ago was more than a change of scenery; it was a cultural and personal earthquake. I arrived with a backpack of dreams and a hard drive full of instrumentals. Starting from zero in a new country is a humbling experience. You leave behind not just people, but a part of your identity.
Little by little, as I found my footing, I began to build my physical sanctuary—my studio. Every microphone, every MIDI controller, every pair of monitors wasn't just equipment; it was a brick in the foundation of my new life. This setup became my anchor, the tangible proof of my commitment. It was in this space, surrounded by the eclectic sounds of Buenos Aires, that a new restlessness began to grow.
The Unforeseen Chapter: Finding a Voice
For years, my beats had provided a home for other voices. But a quiet question started to echo in the silence after a track was done: What do you have to say?
The answer was terrifying. I was a producer, an architect of sound from the neck up. Singing and writing felt like a venture into the unknown, into the vulnerable territory of the heart. But the urge became undeniable.
About a year ago, I took a deep breath and pressed record. The first time I heard my own voice singing lyrics I had written was a surreal experience. It was raw, it was shaky, but it was mine. It was no longer enough to create the landscape; I needed to walk through it, to tell you what I saw and felt there.
This new side of my music isn't a departure from my roots; it's a homecoming. Writing lyrics forced me to look inward, to process the journey of migration, the pangs of nostalgia, and the hope of a new beginning. The producer in me builds the world, and
The Andertak3r Sound: A Tapestry of Influences
My mission as an artist is to live in the in-between spaces. I am fascinated by the dialogue between the classic and the modern, the organic and the synthetic. You might hear the warmth of a soulful vinyl sample cradling a futuristic synth, or a traditional Latin rhythm driving a trap-influenced beat.
This blending isn’t just a stylistic choice; it’s a reflection of who I am. I am Venezuela and Argentina. I am the quiet producer and the emerging singer. I am the classic sounds of my upbringing and the modern pulse of the city I now call home. By fusing these seemingly opposite forces, I’m not diluting my identity; I’m strengthening it. I’m creating a sound that could only come from this specific, complex journey.
So, this is where I am now: Anderson and Andertak3r, fully merged. The journey from beats to ballads has been the most challenging and rewarding creative leap of my life. I’m just getting started, and I can’t wait to share this new chapter of my soul with you.
Thank you for listening.
