Pedro Capó (artistically also Capó) is a Puerto Rican musician and grandson of Puerto Rican singer Bobby Capó and former Miss Puerto Rico Irma Nydia Vazquez.
Pedro picked up the guitar at an early age and quickly demonstrated great virtue with the strings, even becoming the main voice of the group Marka Registrada.
Currently Pedro resides in New York, where he has starred in musical productions including: Apollo Theatre’s production of The Sweet Spot (NYC) and the Off-Broadway hit musical production of CELIA: The Life and Music of Celia Cruz. He has also starred in the films Shut Up And Do It and Paraiso Travel, which is directed by Simón Brand and co-stars John Leguizamo.
His music speaks about the human reality, social aspects of his interest, love, women and the conjugation of every-day experiences that make "us all learn to be better people and to live in peace."
At the moment, he is in the middle of the post-production of his album titled Capó.
In 2009, he performed a duet with popular Mexican singer Thalía called "Estoy Enamorado" from her new album Primera Fila and another duet with the Puerto Rican artist Kany García called "Si Tu Me Lo Pides".
