<p>Born in the tropical cosmopolitan city of Miami, Florida on June 2, 1985, Ana Cristina represents the American and Hispanic bicultural influences where she grew up. </p>
<p>Since a very early age, the Cuban-American singer’s prodigious 5 octave vocal range has opened the doors for her to sing in hundreds of television shows and events. By the time she was 6 years old to the time she was 13, Ana Cristina was asked to appear frequently on shows like Sabado Gigante and The Cristina Show. At the age of 15, Ana Cristina’s big voice and talent caught the attention of executives at Sony International’s Sony Discos label who signed her on the spot, to which she then completed her first Spanish Language self-titled debut “Ana Cristina.” </p>
<p>She worked with Latin music’s biggest producers like, Rudy Perez(Christina Aguilera, Michael Bolton) Emilio Estefan (Gloria Estefan, Shakira), Kike Santander ( Christian Castro, Jennifer Lopez), Estefano ( Paulina Rubio,Thalia) , Manny Benito (Chayanne, Olga Tanon)….and more. Her first single, the ballad, “A Un Paso De Mi Amor”, drew attention not only from fans all over, but from the critics alike, who non-arguably agree that Ana Cristina has one of the most gifted voices and talents that the Latin music industry has ever seen. She later sang theme songs for the Telemundo soap opera “Vale Todo” and Televisa and Univision’s soap opera “Vivan los Ninos”, to which she recorded the theme songs and landed in the soundtrack. Ana Cristina’s version of Schubert’s classic “Ave Maria”, produced by Bebu Silvetti, was part of Sony’s Christmas compilation CD which included Jon Secada, Celia Cruz, and others called “Nuestra Navidad.” </p>
<p>Her unique and ample voice was especially recognized nationally in the U.S. when the she was chosen out of a star-studded list of some of the most respected performers in the nation to sing “The Star Spangled Banner” for the presidential inauguration on January 20, 2005. It was a grand honor for Ana Cristina to be a part of such a historical event. She sang an incredibly powerful and crystalline rendition of the country’s anthem before president George W. Bush and thousands of international dignitaries that led to a dramatic standing ovation and garnered media attention worldwide. </p>
<p>In 2006, Ana Cristina was chosen by the Univision Network to sing the promotional theme song for Univision Sports’ 2006 World Cup Germany entitled, “You Can Change the World.”</p>
<p>On October 6, 2006, Ana Cristina was invited to sing in the White House for a private show produced by Emilio Estefan and the organizers at the White House. Also present, besides the President of the United States, was the crowned prince of Spain, Felipe, and other ambassadors to various nations. Ana Cristina was introduced by the President himself before her performance and was set to perform two songs, until the President requested an encore that led to a total of 3 songs. </p>
<p>Ana Cristina’s creative and artistic growth has been completed with her skillfully combined development to compose her own songs with the guitar and piano. The outcome of her ability to manipulate words and improvisational melodies so easily has resulted in her capability to churn out well-crafted dynamic songs that go hand in hand with her commanding stage presence. </p>
<p>Whether it is through the mediums of live performance or in her writing, Ana Cristina is constantly innovating ideas that have evolved into an original musical style that only she can call her own.</p>
<p>Her green-eyed gaze seems to exhibit an intense sense of purpose and worldly inspiration for such a young lady. Ana Cristina has always felt that she was predestined to communicate with people through her beloved art form. Her zealous dedication to her music is sharply evident and one of the many distinct qualities that make her a natural born star. Remember the name, because you’ll never forget the voice…</p>

<p>In the rough and tumble world of the music business, what are the odds of success for a young, female singer competing against the major multi-national corporations that control the music business? If you are Mexican born and Los Angeles bred Gabby Villanueva, success has come because of incredible talent and a great deal of hard work. Without the benefit of being signed to a major label, Villanueva has established herself as a nationally known singer and televisión personality all from her small home in Miami.</p>
<p>Recording with top musicians and producers in Miami she personally financed her debut album &#8220;Mundos Diferentes&#8221; and released it on her own label, iRock Music. Since then Gabby has been turning heads and ears onto her unique sound of mariachi and pop-rock. She was the first indie artist to reach the top-10 on iTunes Latino. Her three music videos have aired on all of the major video outlets including MTV Tr3s, mun2, HBO Latino, and others. She has received unprecedented press coverage including articles in La Opinion’s La Vibra, Vogue Latino America, People en Español, Ocean Drive, TV Notas, Vriz, EFE, and others. She is omnipresent on the internet having been prominently featured on sites including iTunes, Batanga, Terra, myspace Latino, Yahoo Musica, etc. Radio stations from Miami to Venezuela have played her three single releases to date.</p>
<p>In 2002, she was a contestant on Telemundo&#8217;s reality show Protagonistas De la Música, and worked for Telemundo as an entertainment reporter. Gabby Villanueva is one of the few young multi-talented performers who has captured the hearts of audiences from all over the US and Latin America with her music and charismatic personality. The small screen has been part of her life working with the most important national Spanish-speaking networks in the United States including Telemundo, Univision, MTV Tr3s, American Latino Television and others. Recently she was hired as a co-host of Galavision’s weekly nationally broadcast entertainment show &#8220;Accesso Maximo&#8221;. Gabby has also appeared in various national commercials along side Piolin and Grammy award winning Colombian singer Juanes. </p>
<p>Gabby’s musical influences originate in her genes. Her grandmother and her parents spent parts of their lives dedicated to songwriting and performance. At a very early age, it was clear that Gabby had a love for music and performance and that success was dependant on hard work. Villanueva continues her duel career as a singer and televisión personality and will continue to leverage her national exposure to benefit her entertainment endeavors. She knows no other way to do it.</p>

<p>Leslie inherited her love of music from her musical family. Her father, Raul Lugo, a Professional Engineer by trade, is also a classical guitarist.  Her mother, Bitsy, and her paternal grandmother would sing at family gatherings.  As a baby, Leslie’s first words were sung, not spoken.  Instead of the usual &#8220;Mama&#8221; and &#8220;Dada&#8221; that most babies utter, Leslie sang &#8220;Wild Fire&#8221;, the two words of a popular song she had heard on the radio. For her amazed parents, this was the first indication that Leslie loved music.  While still a baby, Leslie would carry a carrot the same way one holds a microphone, singing and making up song lyrics as she went along. Leslie’s first steps in her creative life were developed at a very early age. Barely reaching the strings of the guitar as she sang, Leslie, at 5 years old, was already performing for her pre-kindergarten class.

Shortly after, while still in High School, she joined a popular local band, a Latino beat ensemble led by experienced accomplished musicians. At eighteen years of age and the youngest performer, Leslie represented Texas in the prestigious National OTI (Organizacion de Televisoras Ibero-Americanas) song contest in Miami, Florida. She performed live, via The Univision International TV network, before an estimated 200 million television viewers in 33 countries in the U.S. and Latin America.  Leslie was also featured on two telecasts of &#8220;Ritmo Internacional&#8221;, a TV show via the Hispanic Telemundo Network and broadcast from Walt Disney World Pleasure Island in Orlando, Florida.  </p>
<p>By the age of 19, Leslie Lugo struck out on her own, forming her own band and entertaining audiences with a variety of English/Spanish music.  &#8221;The Leslie Lugo Band&#8221; has performed in numerous festivals, conventions, concerts and special events, such as: The Festival Latino and Noche De Gala Festival in Washington, D.C., National El Presidente Latin Music Songwriting Talent Search in Los Angeles, Calif., The Selena World Premier Movie Gala Celebration in San Antonio, Texas, National Council of La Raza National Convention in Dallas, Texas, The Lulac Foundation Achievement Award Ceremony in Houston, Texas and The George Washington Celebration Noche Mexicana, Colonial Ball and Noche De Cabaret in Laredo, Texas.    El Camino To Fame, a bilingual National syndicated TV show that utilized the technologies of the Internet, featured Leslie as Co-Host and was televised from Fiesta Texas Theme Park in San Antonio, Texas. </p>

Joan&#8217;s admiration of Luz&#8217;s work is such that he agreed to record a duet with her on the single &#8220;Aire,&#8221; a rare exception for this legendary songwriter who only records his own compositions.</p>

Vocal Event&#8221; and &#8220;Regional Mexican Airplay Song of the Year / Female Category.&#8221; The winners will be announced during an event on April 23, 2009 to be broadcast live on Telemundo.</p>
<p>Radio&#8217;s embrace of &#8220;Aire&#8221; has been significant: The song made a Hot Shot debut at No. 40 on Billboard&#8217;s Latin Pop chart, and remains steady.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Stefani Montiel</h2>
<p>Born December 23 in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Stefani Montiel (Stefani Barela Sullivan) arrived with a rich cultural lineage extending to Mexico, Spain, Germany and Italy. Her Mexican-American roots, nevertheless, are her source of pride and the solid foundation for her life and her music. </p>
<p>While growing up, Stefani would watch and listen to Emilio Barela, her grandfather, as he played his accordion along classic rancheras. Her father, Dwight Sullivan also provided musical nourishment to the future Tejano superstar while performing with his band, Los Chavos, in New Mexico. At age three, in exchange for a bowl of cherries and a soda pop, Stefani made her singing debut to the amazement of everyone present, showing great poise and a naturally sweet and smooth voice.</p>
<p>The music world gave Stefani a warm welcome upon the release of her first single at age five. Side A featured &#8220;Rancho Grande&#8221; while side B broke into the airwaves with &#8220;Que Grande El Amor de Dios.&#8221; By age nine, Stefani recorded her first album &#8220;ANGEL BABY.&#8221; Besides the classic &#8220;Angel Baby&#8221; the album included three major hits &#8220;Las Gaviotas,&#8221; &#8220;Flor De Las Flores,&#8221; and &#8220;Blue Bayou.&#8221; Her second Long Play album was released when she turned fifteen years old, simply title &#8220;Listen to My Music&#8221; including a mixture of Country, Pop, and classic rancheras. </p>
<p>Searching for a future in the music business, Stefani moved to San Antonio, Texas in hopes of realizing greater fame. Her success was immediate with two major hits- &#8220;Primer Beso&#8221; and &#8220;Tú y Nadie Más.&#8221; She was soon signed to a long term contract with Sony Discos and released &#8220;TE VOY A ENAMORAR&#8221; which established her as a major force in the Tejano music industry. Other hits off this album were &#8220;Celos&#8221; and &#8220;Soy Feliz&#8221; which received national airplay, as well as the title track and accompanying video &#8220;Te Voy a Enamorar&#8221; featuring actor MARIO LOPEZ.</p>
<p>The first visit to Mexico, for Stefani, was a complete success due in part to her incredible charisma, impressive vocal power, and stunning beauty. She was named the Queen of the Monterrey Fair after giving a rousing performance before more than 100,000 fans. </p>
<p>The second album, &#8220;TODO MI AMOR&#8221; proved that Stefani was not a &#8220;one-hit wonder&#8221; and expanded her fan-base by including more of a &#8220;Pop&#8221; feel to some of the songs. Hits like &#8220;Sabado en la Noche&#8221;, &#8220;Angel en el Cielo&#8221;, and &#8220;Contigo&#8221; showcased her powerful range and smooth vocals. It became obvious to the public and industry insiders that they were witnessing the work of a major star with the ability to crossover into any type of music. Radio airplay increased to a frenzied level featuring hits from the previous album as well as &#8220;TODO MI AMOR.&#8221;</p>
<p>Her next release &#8220;PORQUE SOY MUJER&#8221; (Because I am a Woman) delivered still more hits including the title track, which established an important link of communication between the Tejano songbird and her loyal female fans. Songs that are now standards include &#8220;Porque Soy Mujer,&#8221; the gypsy-influenced &#8220;Baila Conmigo,&#8221; and the driving beat of &#8220;Ven Conmigo.&#8221;</p>
<p>Her latest album &#8221; DULCE SENSACION&#8221; (Sweet Sensation) features one of the first songs she ever sang, &#8220;Angel Baby&#8221; with a Spanglish and a Spanish version featuring a cumbia beat. &#8220;DULCE SENSACION&#8221; is the definitive release by Stefani Montiel. Loaded with radio-friendly hits, the album hints at Regional Mexican, Pop, and Tropical while still strongly rooted in the Tejano sound. The first single &#8220;Ay Papi&#8221; written by Stefani, included a Tejano, hip-hop, and &#8220;Mambolicious&#8221; tropical version which all drew immediate success and airplay throughout the country as well as Los Angeles, Miami, and Puerto Rico. Also included on this album are &#8220;Daria Todo,&#8221; &#8220;La Puerta,&#8221; and the fully orchestrated, &#8220;Hermoso Amor.&#8221; The painstaking detail of the arrangements, the lyrics, the vocal delivery and the production quality speak volumes of Stefani Montiel&#8217;s talent and earned her a nomination for &#8220;BEST TEJANO PERFORMANCE&#8221; at the first ever Latin Grammys in 2000. </p>
<p>Stefani Montiel has come a long way from that three year old little girl in New Mexico, to a sensational tejano superstar admired by thousands. A strong voice empowering today&#8217;s youth to reach for the stars and go for the glory, Stefani strives to give her all to her fans. Her optimistic outlook on life and positive attitude will help her continue on the road to success where she will reign as the &#8220;dulce sensacion&#8221; in the hearts of her fans.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Veronica Meza</h2>
<p>Singer/songwriter Veronica Meza is currently promoting her single, &#8220;Amor Como El Mio&#8221; (Love Like Mine) which was produced by Abraham Quintanilla and Grammy-award winning producer Brian &#8220;Red&#8221; Moore. &#8220;Amor Como El Mio&#8221;, written by the singer herself, is a catchy tejano- style cumbia and is the first single off of her much anticipated album El Perfume De Tu Piel (The Scent of Your Skin) set to be released later this year. In addition, the album contains another song which was also produced by Quintanilla and Moore and arranged by Ricky Vela, who has worked with artists such as Selena and is the composer behind her smash hit, &#8220;No Me Queda Mas&#8221;. </p>
<p>El Perfume De Tu Piel contains 11 radio-friendly songs, four of which were written and co-produced by Veronica. The remaining songs on the album were written and produced by the very talented songwriter, arranger and producer, Andres Velez who has worked with artists such as Carolina Sabino in his native Colombia. The album can be described as Grupero/Tropical/Pop as it contains elements of cumbia, salsa, pop ballads and even a merengue tune.</p>
<p>Veronica Meza was born in El Salvador but because of the adversities facing her country during the early-mid 80&#8217;s, her family decided to move to Toronto. Having shown no signs of musical interest during her childhood years, it wasn&#8217;t until the age of thirteen that Veronica discovered she had a talent for singing when to her surprise, was given an award for Excellency in Vocal Music by her Grade 7 music teacher. Her very first gig was at her family&#8217;s restaurant where she would entertain customers with her renditions of Selena and Grupo Limite songs. She soon began performing in various events across the city and even entered and won two singing competitions. From then on, she was a regular in festivals and was featured in various local radio shows, newspaper articles and television shows. Soon thereafter, she joined her first band, Grupo Kaliente whom she performed regularly with and had even earned a loyal following in the surrounding cities. After the band members went their separate ways, Veronica continued working in the music scene in Toronto and soon was accepted into the Humber College Music Program where she explored Jazz, R&#038;B and Latin Jazz. It was there that Veronica explored composition and arranging and worked with many of Canada&#8217;s top musicians such as Juno-Nominee Nancy Walker, Shannon Gunn, Trish Colter, Dave Stilwell, Lisa Martinelli and Luis Mario Ochoa to name a few. In addition, Veronica has performed and collaborated with various bands and artists such as Grupo Mapale, La Mezcla, Alex Bello, and sang back-ups for salsa singer Kevin Ceballo. In 2007 , Veronica formed her band, Veronica &#038; The Latino Beat and performed in various events such as Salsa on St. Clair, one of Toronto&#8217;s most popular events, where she was featured as the closing act and performed infront of thousands of people. </p>
<p>With the release of her first album, Veronica hopes to captivate the hearts of thousands more to come!</p>
