About Me

Hey my name's Raymundo. I was born August 21st, 1987.. I've been singing my whole life, but started taking things seriously when I was 9 years old.. and I've been playing rhythm guitar and writing songs since I was 10.. I recently started learning how to play the piano... I've been playing Mariachi music my whole life! I have a passion for that style, but as I've grown.. my tastes in music have changed.. I still love Mariachi, but I have learned to love a lot of different styles as well.. I'd like to consider my music soft rock/acoustic/r&b all in one.. I sing/write my own original songs in both English and Spanish.. I'm bilingual.. My parents are from Mexico and I was born here in California.. Which makes me a very proud Mexican American.. If there's anything else you guys are interested in finding out about me, feel free to send me a message or check out my site! You'll find my FULL Autobiography, Entertainment Resume, more sound clips, my first music video, other video clips, pictures with celebrities, and lots more there..
