Hector "Mije" Carreon is a Mexican musician and songwriter. He was born on December 11, 1985, as Hector Jesus Carreon Zuñiga in Saltillo, Coahuila, Mexico.
At the age of five, Carreon moved to Ciudad Juárez, a border town with El Paso, Texas. He was raised in a unique town culture, where Mexican and American language and traditions blended. This had a profound influence on Carreon. He had the uncommon opportunity to live in Mexico and cross the border every day to attend school in the United States.
Carreon began playing the guitar at age 11 in a choir at his school, Father Yermo Elementary, where a nun by the name of Sister Elizabeth taught him to play. He later joined a choir from San Lorenzo in Ciudad Juárez and decided to pursue music as a career. Today religious music is still one of his biggest influences. At the age of 14 he began writing songs focusing on love, and his experiences as a teenager.[1]
In 2005 he enrolled in El Paso Community College as a music major but later dropped out to focus on musical projects that he found more interesting.
