THE OFFICIAL ANGEL VELAZQUEZ MUSIC PROFILE

WELCOME TO THE OFFICAL ANGEL VELAZQUEZ MUSIC PROFILE. FEEL FREE TO CHECK OUT THE CURRENT SINGLE "TURN IT UP FOR ME" AS WELL AS THE CURRENT DEMO VERSION OF "BROKEN PROMISES" AND THE REMIX OF "BROKEN PROMISES". THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO EVERYTHING THAT PERTAINS TO ME AND MY MUSIC CAREER.I GREW UP IN A TOWN CALLED WAUKEGAN ILLINOIS ALL OF MY LIFE. I DO NOT CONSIDER MYSELF NOR HAVE EVER CONSIDERED MYSELF A "STAGE KID". MY INTEREST AND LOVE OF MUSIC/PERFORMING/SONGWRITING/PRODUCING IS MORE OF A GRADUAL EVOLUTION. I GREW UP IN A VERY HUMBLE AND BUSY HOUSEHOLD/FAMILY. MUSIC FLOWS THROUGH MY VEINS IN THAT ONE OF MY GRANDFATHERS WAS A MUSICIAN. HE WAS ALSO IN A BAND THAT USE TO PLAY AT LOCAL BARS/CLUBS. LIKE I JUST MENTIONED, I GREW UP IN A BUSY HOUSE. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN MY UNCLES AND AUNTS USED TO LIVE WITH US. SO THERE WAS ALWAYS QUITE A NUMBER OF MY UNCLES SINGING AND PLAYING GUITAR FROM MARIACHI TO MUSIC THEY HAD WRITTEN. MUSIC WAS INSTILLED IN ME AT A VERY YOUNG AGE WITHOUT ME REALIZING IT.I WAS ALSO A VERY VERY VERY SHY KID GROWING UP (I CAN'T STRESS THAT ANYMORE). THE THOUGHT OF BEING ON STAGE AT FIRST FRIGHTENED THE HELL OUT OF ME. I SANG THROUGHOUT GRADE SCHOOL, JUNIOR HIGH AND HIGH SCHOOL. SLOWLY GAINING CONFIDENCE IN MYSELF AND IN MY VOICE. I GRADUALLY LEARNED TO COME OUT OF MY SHELL ON STAGE, BUT IT'S WHERE I FELT I BELONGED AND I FELT LIKE I WAS FREE OF MY SHY WORLD THAT I WAS STUCK IN.AS TIME PROGRESSED I GRADUALLY CONTINUED SINGING IN CHOIRS THROUGHOUT JUNIOR HIGH AND IN HIGH SCHOOL, I STARTED TO TAKE MY LOVE AND INTEREST IN MUSIC TO MORE HIGHER LEVELS. I PERFORMED VERY OFTEN WITHIN CHOIRS, VOICE LESSONS, MUSIC THEORY CLASSES, AND LOCAL PRODUCERS. IT WASN'T HOWEVER UNTIL EARLY 2008 WHEN I REALLY TOOK MY MUSIC CAREER TO A NEW LEVEL.IN EARLY 2008 I RELEASED MY FIRST SONG "BROKEN PROMISES". I CAN'T EXPLAIN OR DEFINE HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS SONG AND MUCH I WAS PROUD OF MYSELF FOR COMPLETING THIS SONG. THIS SONG CARRIES ALOT OF SENTIMENTAL MEANING NOT ONLY FOR IT'S MESSAGE BUT BECAUSE SINCE IT IS MY FIRST SONG I FEEL IT'S KIND OF LIKE MY BABY. I OF COURSE COULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT THE AMAZING HELP OF ANOTHER RELATIVE OF MINE THAT LIVES AND BREATHES MUSIC. I HAVE TO GIVE BIG PROPS AND THANKS TO JOSE "THE ARSONIST" IN ASSOCIATION WITH "SO SICK ENT". HE IS THE MAIN PRODUCER ON ALL OF MY TRACKS AND SONGS THAT ARE RELEASED. HE'S JUST AN AMAZING TALENT AND ARTIST AS WELL. LIKE I SAID, MUSIC FLOWS THROUGH MY FAMILY VEINS. WE ONLY KEEP GETTING BETTER AND SETTING THE STANDARD HOPEFULLY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS WHO WISH TO FOLLOW IN OUR FOOTSTEPS. I ALSO RELEASED MY CURRENT SINGLE "TURN IT UP FOR ME" IN MID 2008. RIGHT NOW I'M JUST WORKING MY BUTT OFF ON QUITE A NUMBER OF NEW TRACKS. AT COUNT AND AT COMPLETION, MY CD SHOULD BE COMPILED OF ABOUT 9 - 10 TRACKS. SO RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE BEING EXECUTIVE PRODUCED WITH "SO SICK ENT" AS I SONGWRITE AND PRODUCE AS WELL. ONCE THE CD IS COMPLETED IT WILL BE RELEASED TO NUMEROUS MANAGEMENTS AND RECORD LABELS ACROSS THE NATION. THE SONGS ARE QUITE A MIXTURE OF THE BEST MUSIC. THEY RANGE FROM BALLADS LIKE "BROKEN PROMISES" TO CATCHY BEATS LIKE "TURN IT UP FOR ME". THE REMAINING TRACKS ARE A GOOD MIXTURE OF POP/ELECTRO-POP/HIP-POP/R&B/LATIN. IN MY EYES THERE IS NO COMPARISON TO OTHER ARTISTS I HAVE HEARD. NO OFFENSE TO THEM, BUT MY MUSIC SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. THE SONGS I WRITE AND SING COME FROM MY HEART AND SOUL AND THEY REALLY ARE A WINDOW INTO WHO I AM AND WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH. SO WITH ALL THAT BEING SAID, I GREATLY APPRECIATE ANYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED ME AND HAS TAKEN THE TIME OUT TO LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE CREATED. I AM DEFINATELY AT THE START OF MY JOURNEY ON THE WAY TO THE TOP, BUT I AM SO EXCITED TO GROW AND EVOLVE LYRICALLY, ARTISTICALLY, AND IN EVERY WHICH WAY I POSSIBLY CAN. HOPEFULLY YOU CAN ALL STICK AROUND AND BEAR WITNESS TO THE EMPIRE AND LEGACY I PLAN ON CREATING AND BUILDING. SO ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH AND ENJOY YOUR STAY ON MY PAGE.YOURS TRUELY AND MUCH LOVE,ANGEL VELAZQUEZMySpace tweaks and layouts at MusicTweak.
