Big things often come in small packages and Lopez – known by many as “Chaparita†– is a perfect example. This artist’s small stature contains a powerful voice and glowing, room-brightening personality, both of which shine through her music. Honesty and commitment to worthy issues is very important to Lopez. All of her creations are concocted out of a need to help make things better, whether it be the homeless, faithless, or under-appreciated.Lopez’s formidable song skills are rooted in a musical past that extends back to the age of seven when she began what would be a fruitful career by singing with Mariachi style music at her family’s restaurant in the San Fernando Valley, CA. She has since expanded the scope of her music and honed her craft to a fine edge. Veronica has performed around the world at cultural events, fairs, festivals, rallies, corporate functions and private parties.Lopez’s extensive range, style and passion for her craft have been compared to that of popular vocalist Edie Gorme and the late Tejano singing sensation, Selena. Her ability to touch the hearts of both English and Spanish speaking fans has drawn attention to Lopez as a talented cross-over singer/songwriter in both markets. In fact, a recent article written about her life and work was entitled, “A Full Heart.â€By far, the most widely requested song during Lopez’s live performances, also on the is “La Gloria de America†(translated “America’s Gloryâ€). Performed for national audiences, even prior to its CD release, this song is recognized as the “Immigrant’s Anthem.†Written as a tribute to her father, Lopez pays homage to immigrants of all nationalities who come to America, struggle but maintain hope and determination, and ultimately pave the way for their children and grandchildren to pursue their dreams. Lopez’s performance of this ballad received wide acclaim before thousands at the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride in Washington, D.C., and in 2006 during an immigrant rally for an audience of over 700,000 in Los Angeles, CA.In addition to performing her Latin program, as well as adult contemporary and Christian music, Lopez is also highly regarded for performing “The National Anthem†for cultural, community and sporting events nationwide.Lopez has had the ability to touch the hearts and win the praise of both English and Spanish speaking fans as a crossover singer, songwriter, and actress in both markets. As an acting talent, she has appeared in multiple local and national television shows and commercials.
