For the last ten years, Latin music listeners in the US and abroad have enjoyed the melodic, Christian Salsa music of Puchi Colon. Puchi (pronounced 'poo-chee') is a talented vocalist, musician, producer, and arranger. His passion for his music compliments his sincere love for his savior, Jesus Christ and conviction to advance the Kingdom of God. Puchi recognizes his talent as a gift from God and surrenders it as an offering.
Puchi recorded his very first album in 1996 titled, "Voy A Comenzar"(Penvel Records)and people immediately took notice. In 1997, Ralph Hernandez, joined Puchi and formed his Band. Since formed, Puchi & His Band has toured extensively in the United States and the Caribbean.
Surging with the release of his English album "Salsa Praise", Puchi "broke the mold" and gave the American Christian music market something that it never really had (salsa in English). In June of 2003, Puchi was awarded the prestigious honor of being New York's Christian Radio's "Artist of the Year" for 2002-2003.
In addition, his 2004 One Voice/Butterfly release "Lo Mejor de Mi, Para El" (My best, for Him) won the American Christian Award for "Best Latin CD" and has confirmed his ability to reach a diverse audience. His acceptance in both the English and Spanish markets granted him the ability to reach the masses. In 2005 Puchi Colon released his long awaited Spanish album titled "Fortaleceme" (Jovi Music). Puchi has also been featured on shows like TBN's "Praise the Lord", Expolit (Miami), sharing the stage with some of the most respected, like Carman, El Trio De Hoy, Julissa, Jon Gibson, Salvador, Marcos Witt, Rene Gonzalez and Hezekiah Walker.
