I was born and raised in New York City by two very loving & humble Puerto Rican parents. I grew up in a home filled with tons of love, great food and a deep love for music. My parents loved Salsa music, so I grew up listening to all the big band greats like Hector Lavoe, Ismael Rivera and Frankie Ruiz. My parents also loved listening to the rhythmic sounds of Bomba & Plena which is the heart & soul of Puerto Rican folk culture. These two great musical genres influenced my interest in music at a very early age. I have vivid memories of my parents dancing, laughing and singing in our living room celebrating their passion for love, family and music. As a result I inherited their love for life and music.My singing career started when I was about 13 years old. My best friend Hector Torres, a young poet then, turned his poems into songs. We both were inspired by the Dance Music boom of the 1980's so Hector & I formed our first group called "Words in Motion". In 1987 we started performing throughout New York City in local clubs and private parties singing "Tell Me" and "Trying Not To Cry" both written by Hector Torres. Some of my performances included venues like the "Nuyorican Poets Cafe" and various benefit concerts in the Latin Hip Hop/Dance circle.In 1996 I recorded "Trying Not To Cry" at Unique Recording under Malcriao/Easy Street Records. I was blessed to work with several talented individuals who helped create what is now a treasured part of my personal history as a recording artist.read more ...read less ...
