Biography
Biography
He played electric guitar in diverse bands and in 1993 he co-founded the group Reynols. Depending on the project, Courtis sometimes spells his first name "Anla". Miguel Tomasin, the Reynols drummer and singer, did so first, and then Courtis decided to adopt it as an artistic psuedonym.
