And The Winner Is !!!!!Bodyguerra won the Innocent Awart in the category "Best Breakthrough Artist 2023".
The band took their name from a Spanish mare, a Baroque horse from Majorca, which was called “Body.” Someone misspelled her name “Bodeguerra” and wrote it down in the stable’s register as “Body-Guerra.” Guido read it and liked it. Hence, in 2010, he called his newly found band Bodyguerra.
As a modern rock band, Bodyguerra embodies heavy and punchy guitar driven rock that is characterized by Guido Stoecker ‘s virtuoso guitar playing. Complemented by Adrian Benten´s heavy drumming and Bassist Jonny Beier driving bass playing, the band provides the foundation for Ela Sturm’s vocals. With its four octave range, her voice sounds equally impressive in the lows as in the highs.

Bodyguerra published their debut album, “Freddy … nothing as it seems“, in 2013 via Dust on the Tracks Records (MIG)/Sony. Soon other projects followed, among them the compilation album “For the Ocean – a Tribute to Sea Shephard” (Bellaphone).
In 2018, Bodyguerra impressed the crowds as special guests for Graham Bonnet (former Rainbow/MSG vocalist) and his band on a tour through Germany, Switzerland, Belgium and the Netherlands. In spring 2020 the confirmed tour with David Reece Band (Accept, Bonfire) got cancelled due to Corona.
In late 2019, Guido and Ela started writing new songs. The result is the band’s actual album “Fire & Soul” featuring eleven brandnew rocking-bluesy tracks plus two special bonus track; recorded at Empire Studios, mixed, mastered, and co-produced by Rolf Munkes (Crematory). ‚Fire&Soul‘ hit the streets on October 15th, 2021 and reached #15 in the official german Rock-and Metalcharts in February 2022.
