My name is Debbie Perez. Family and close friends call me Lee. I am Caucasian/Filipino and I was born in Sampaloc, Manila Philippines. Yes, a very proud Mestiza! My love for music began at a very young age. The trumpet was my first brass instrument that I learned to play and I taught myself how to play the 12-string-guitar. I recieved a Band/Music scholarship that was only given to one Band member in my high school each year.
I have 3 beautiful and talented children! God is first in my life and my family follows right behind God. Being that I come from a Military family I did quite a bit of traveling during my childhood years and later joined the U.S. Army where I was trained as a Medical Specialist. I joined the Army Reserves at 17-years-old and later made the decision to go active duty. I enjoy traveling, seeing new places and learning their culture. As a child, my family and I spent 5 years in Edzell, Scotland. I miss the United Kingdom but I am sure I will return there for a visit someday! I was fortunate enough to spend 4 years in Europe and you can bet that my children and I took advantage of being there and made several trips into other countries such as France, Italy, Holland and Czecholslavakia! I have also traveled all over the United States. Our visit to Canada is one of our most memorable trips we took! Beautiful place!
I left the Army after having my first child and dedicated myself to being a mom and really being there for my children. I became not only the best mom I could be but also their bestfriend! I have learned a lot about life throughout the years and became a very strong woman. In 2003, my sister and I started a Feed The Homeless ministry. We are the founders of Power of Refuge & Strength Ministries in Corpus Christi, Texas. Today, I am the proud mother, Associate music producer and Manager of recording artist April Mestiya. I work with my fabulous daughter. Like most little kids with big dreams Mom is usually the first help a child will have along their path to success. April was singing before she could talk, so I started learning everything I could about the music business while she was small because I knew my daughter was going to be entertaining the world someday. At the age of 3-years-old, April took the stage for the first time singing in a Full Gospel Church in Schweinfurt, Germany.
Being a member of April's management team was very important to my daughter and I because I know her better than anyone else. I have worked with April everyday for 17 years. My expertese with April is needed on a daily basis.
