HereAfter Now

About Me

My name is Hector Alejandro Lugo Herrera.
In high school and 1st year of college I wrote 20 love/hate songs. (1 with Hazan, 4 with Julian Aldaco) which I collectively called, "Like a First Kiss"
You can check out the lyrics by clicking here (eventually I'll put the songs up on that site)

Then I started writing songs about dreams for a new collection of songs called, "This Picture is Upside Down" with my new band ArO. We wrote 5 dream songs but then we went our separate ways. I then wrote 7 more dream songs on my own (Almost done recording them) (not professionally of course.... I have horrible recording equipment and am self taught so... I just do these recordings so people can get the gist of the songs)
Check out the "rough" lyrics to the dream songs by clicking here

Now I’m writing 10 songs about childhood memories. (8 down... 2 to go)
and after that I want to start writing freely with no concepts. I wanna make songs people can jump and dance to! No more songs about love or anything serious. Just fun, feel good songs with a lot of energy.
I currently don’t have a band and I’m not in a hurry to find one, (I'm able to provide a full-band sound on my own) BUT I wouldn’t mind others joining me cause... I miss rehearsing and playing with others.
