==Musical career==
Sanchez primarily provides lead vocals and guitar in Coheed and Cambria. However, he has also used [[theremin]]s, synthesizers, and harmonicas in his side projects. Early in his career, Sanchez first performed with several different bands, all of which lasted a short period of time.

After departing from the band Beautiful Loser, Sanchez went on a trip to Paris, where he began writing a story, initially referred to as ''[[The Bag.On.Line Adventures|The Bag.On.Line Adventures of Coheed and Cambria]]'', named after a store near where Sanchez stayed while in Paris.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bag On Line - Arts & Métiers/Rambuteau - Paris|url=http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/bag-on-line-paris|access-date=27 February 2013}}</ref> Two characters named Coheed and Cambria Kilgannon live in a fictional foreign galaxy known as Heaven's Fence. In the original concept, Sanchez wrote a story about his girlfriend and himself traveling to a new, foreign place, but as the concept expanded the characters started to resemble his parents.

Sanchez was the lead singer and guitarist for [[Shabütie]], which formed in [[Nyack, New York]], in 1995. Shabutie released several EPs and wrote several songs which would eventually be released on ''[[The Second Stage Turbine Blade]]''. The band broke up after [[Nate Kelley]] walked out on a performance but was later reformed with [[Josh Eppard]] replacing Nate Kelley on drums. This new band was dubbed Coheed and Cambria, named after the characters Sanchez had written about in Paris. Coheed and Cambria achieved success on the East Coast after releasing and touring ''The Second Stage Turbine Blade'', and they gained mainstream success with the release of ''[[In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3]]'' thanks to the single "[[A Favor House Atlantic]]".
