Leo ‘Jaeger’ Yanez was born and raised in San Cristobal, Venezuela. He has been a musician since 8 years old, and at the age of 14 got his first electric guitar and never looked back. Leo has played in different bands since 2007 and started producing music in 2012. He was the guitar player and producer of his last band, Kryogenic (Venezuela), and serves the same role for his current band, Not Forgotten (USA).
In late 2024 Not Forgotten released their first official music video, “Enough (To See The Way)” where he worked with Keith Merrow (Conquering Dystopia) on the mastering of the song.
Forged deep in the swamps of South Louisiana, CHOKE’s signature dragpipe guitar tone coupled with massive bayou doom riffs have been the signature of the Sludge pioneers for three decades. Fueled by founding guitarist Jeromy Boullion’s soulful expression of blues laced metal is as unique as it gets.
“When I approached JC Custom Pickups with my signature design, Joe and the Team were more than happy to accept the challenge. It’s been a fantastic journey designing my signature BMF humbucker with JCCP!”
