About Me
Dynamike & Selvin:Biography:Michael Velasquez (a.k.a. Dynamike):
He was born and raised in Benque Viejo Del Carmen (west of Belize) He was introduced into music at the age of 8 when at the time he was living in capital of Belize, Belmopan. He started flowing (free styling) with his friends on reggae and dancehall tracks. Still learning he went home and practiced daily. At the age of 12 he moved back to his hometown Benque Viejo and took back the dancehall style with him. Being influenced by another great rapper of his town, known as "Rabba Man", he linked up and started doing music together. On July 29th 2000 Michael Velasquez came to Los Angeles California not knowing what to expect. Dynamike has been performing at clubs like Rumba room for the Cuervoton alongside major label artists like Tony Touch, Chingo Bling, Notch, Malverde from Machete music and LDA to name a few - bringing a new style of Reggae/Dancehall in Creole and Spanish. You can also check out some pictures of Dynamike at Cuervoton.com.Selvin Castellanos (a.k.a. Lirico):
He was raised in Corozal Town (Northern Belize) but had his original roots in Benque Viejo del Carmen (West Side). At the early age of 6, Selvin was introduced to music. He started playing the guitar at that early age catching on to the new styles coming out and making new styles of his own. After mastering his little instrument he moved on to other instruments to his likings - such instruments as the keyboard, the bass guitar and the drums. Even so Selvin felt that there was more that he can do with his God given Talent. He kept on singing and playing in church. He was also singing and rapping at the different school and town events held. Of course, he had to be singing and rapping other artist's songs/music. But then, listening to different Dancehall/Reggae artists from Jamaica and from his own country, he made up his mind and his heart to start writing his own music. Mainly after being influenced by the young Belizean Artists in Benque Viejo, he then took on that challenge!! From then on Selvin has been making his Dancehall music, Rap music and now even some Reggaeton music in both Creole and Spanish. A new style which many wish to have! SELVIN is making it happen and is determined to get out of his music what he has put into it. Has a big journey in front of him but is very much capable of accomplishing his ultimate dreams!Now in 2004 Dynamike and Selvin teamed up and have been working with each other! They have been writing, performing, recording and promoting their music together bringing a whole new style to the music industry. They have performed at different venues such as the Key Club, Hollywood Park Casino, Club Rio, Home Depot Center (before a Los Angeles Galaxy game), Club La Zona Rosa, Club 2000 in Montclair CA., and Cuervoton 2007 just to name a few. This year Dynamike and Selvin have started taking it to the next level; hitting the clubs and even a couple of radio stations including LA’s 1 Reggaeton Radio Station: Latino 96.3 with a hot new Reggaeton track: “Dale!!â€
