Caleb Villanueva, born and raised in Southern California, Orange County. His love for drums begin when he was just eight years old. At a young age his parents were interested in putting him in sports and music classes. He began playing drums at his local church primarily playing gospel/rock music. His dad encouraged him to become the new church drummer. In high school he wanted to take every music class available to him. He saw this as “free lessons.” He was a part of the Sunny Hills high school marching band, winter drumline, jazz ensemble, and concert band. At a young age, began playing for other churches all around California for local, state, and national events. At the age of 16, he decided randomly to join the Guitar Center drum off. He participated and won his first prelim and the store finals as well. He then proceeded to the quarter finals, at the Block of Orange, where he won first place; moving to semifinals in Hollywood where he won second place. Caleb believes that his drum off experience is one of the best experiences he has ever had outside of church drumming. He has also contributed by giving lessons to those who are beginning their musical journey. He has had many students that he has taught since he graduated from high school. For years Caleb has developed his talent by playing live for many events but has also been a part of several studio sessions; this has allowed him to develop his abilities and gaining experience. Caleb continues to expand his knowledge in music and is determined to achieve more educationally. He is currently working on completing his Bachelor in Business Accounting and Finance at Cal State University Fullerton. He hopes to one day be able to be involved in music as much as his career and will continue to inspire other drummers, young and old, to pursue music passionately and hope it has a great affect on them as it did on Caleb. He is excited to be a part of the Soultone Family and looks forward to doing great work with them as his endorser.
