About Me

DJELEU - (pronounced dee-jeh-leh-ooh) is a talented producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter has converted fans with his rich amalgam of organic soulful grooves, poetic and insightful lyrics, and keen compositional chops that draw from the best elements of Latin Roots, Rock, Soul and Funk. DJELEU is a true original with an adventurous musical spirit. Born in New York and raised in Isabela, Puerto Rico, he studied music in college and then relocated to Florida where he spent time playing with the Rock band Kid Cantina and touring as a guitarist for the world renowned Menudo. After suffering the loss of his brother (who was senselessly murdered) and the joyce of birth of his daughter(KALI), he decided to follow and write in a more positive and spiritual path. D'JELEU educated himself with the art of recording and has been producing many newcomers and talented artists also recording with renowned musicians such as Al Anderson (The Wailers), Jerome 'Big Foot' Brailey (Parliament), and has shared the stage with numerosly Bands (90's Rock)and many renowned artists.**************************************************** *********************D'JELEU has toured nationally and laid down his soulful guitar licks on recordings with Top Billboard Latin artists who have achieved Multi-Platinum status. Throughout these experiences he has kept composing heartfelt original songs influenced by his life experiences and his diverse musical background. In love with the passion and elegance of old soul and blues singers, DJELEU is a singer-songwriter who is drawn to simple arrangements. His sound is fresh and engaging, DJELEUs compelling stage presence is attributed to his passion for his songs and his desire to connect with the audience. His yearning voice delivers a message to each individual in the audience in a passionate way. This is perhaps why his music evokes the raw quality of the old soul singers. I want people to leave moved by my shows, hearing something perhaps familiar yet completely new. I write music for all of us, touching our common experiences of loss, faith, lovewhat we all go through. Its a way to describe how were related. I once read that Music is the hypnotic charmer to bring you into the Universe's inner truths and mysteries.************************************************** ************************ Currently finishing the last touches on his debut CD , featuring tracks such as: 'Web Of Madness', 'Source', 'Move On', 'Free Ya Soul', and 'If...', marking great things to come for this talented and inspirational artist; it will definitely bring some life back to the current state of popular music.****************************************************** *******************CONTACT: http://www.djeleu.comCreate or get your
