About Me

BACKGROUND
Cano (Lakota/Spanish) is a powerful vocalist and high-energy performer whose lyrics and showmanship have been described as dynamic, uplifting and positive -Music with a message. He is continuously performing and is currently promoting a self-produced four-song EP entitled, Human - his first solo project. Cano is recording and writing music with plans for a full-length release in the near future.
The past seven years, Cano has devoted his time as front man to the internationally known, Native American group Clan/destine. He is now aiming to bridge the distance between traditional Native sound by mixing in a rock/pop sound to reach a broader crossover audience.
ACHIEVEMENTS
Cano introduced a contemporary influence to the group's traditional flair creating a perfect balance of new with the old. This change helped earn Cano and the band a 2000 Native American Music Award (NAMMY) in the Best Pop/Rock category for the group's self-produced second album of three full-length recordings. Clan/destine signed with Canyon Records based in Phoenix, Arizona, for the first release. The group then chose to self-produce and release the next two recordings independently on their own label, Rezdawgs Inc.
With Clan/destine, Cano traveled throughout the United States, Germany, Australia, and the United Kingdom, performing a variety of venues including festivals, corporate shows and theaters. A few of these include Coca-Cola, LTU Airlines and The Producer's Guild of America. They were the featured entertainment for the Ralph Lauren 2002 Spring Line Fashion Show, and they've performed for two Presidents; President Clinton's visit to Arizona, and one of President Bush's Inaugural Balls.
