Javier Monthiel

Jose Javier Pérez Ramirez (born April 11, 1967), better known by his stage name Javier Monthiel, is a Honduran singer, composer and Honduran producer. He is one of the most outstanding artists in his country. Among his original works are Así es mi tierra, Es Honduras, Mujeres Latinas, Amiga and Más allá del Corazón, songs that among others have allowed him to reach international stages and to be currently one of the most important figures of Honduran music.

Biography Javier Monthiel was born on April 11, 1967, in Ocotepeque, son of Antonio Leiva and Tereza de Jesús Ramirez. Javier inherited his musical aptitude from his father, who was a Honduran saxophonist and musician by profession. However, Javier did not meet his father until he was twelve years old and never spent much time with him. More influential in his life was his stepfather Valentín Pérez, a railway worker, whom Javier credits with having taught him honesty, humility and the value of hard work. After these successful performances, Javier Monthiel opened the concerts of the Mexican Yuri, the Argentinian Enanitos Verdes and Soda Stereo and the Venezuelan Ricardo Montaner among others. He subsequently alternated concerts with other international artists and opened presentations at important artistic and cultural events in Honduras, such as beauty pageants and the OTI Festival.

In 1995 Javier Monthiel began presentations that would propel him to become one of the best-known artists in the country. That year he was invited to sing the Honduran National Anthem at the opening of the World Cup competitions in San Pedro Sula. This was followed by presentations at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, the Miami Orange Bowl at Miami, the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium at Washington, D.C., Estadio Revolución (now Estadio Rommel Fernández) in the city of Panama and Estadio Cuscatlán in El Salvador among others. Then, a year later, he was called to sing the National Anthem of Honduras for games of the Honduras national team when it played in the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France.

Today Javier Monthiel has 15 album productions, a wide variety of video musical clips produced in national and international stages, and a whole range of promotional material of international quality. These are representative of the discography and videography of this Central American artist, and documentaries in which he has participated.
