Hello out there, my name is Lorenzo Mendez. Born in the Bay Area, California... raised in El Paso, Texas. I've been singing since the age of 3 but on stage performing since the age of 7. At 16 years I won first place on the Univision show called "1st Festival De Mariachi" recorded and aired internationaly from Disney World. Because of that victory I was featured on "Don Francisco Presenta".
Two years later, at 18 years old, I decided to try out for another singing competition, "Gigantes Del Manana" on the Sabado Gigante show. Passing the auditions in my city of El Paso, TX, and in Houston TX, I finally made it into the top 26 in Miami, FL... After 13 long stressful weeks I was awarded the first place and a cd with Fonovisa/Univision Records.
I was invited to attend Sabado Gigante about 9 times, Gordo Y La Flaca, Escandalo TV, Buenos Dias con Maria Antonieta Collins among some shows. I've performed all over the U.S.A. and Mexico promoting the beautiful music of mariachi. I've had the honor to open up and share the stage with important artist including Pepe Aguilar, Pedro Fernandez, Cumbia Kingz, Fito Olivarez, Tigres Del Norte, Olga Tanon, Camila, Marco Antonio Solis, Ana Barbara, Jenny Rivera, Lupillo Rivera, Yuri, El General to name a few.
I recorded my awarded album in Joel Solis's studio (ex member of the famous group "Los Bukis" in Mexico City under the label of Fonovisa/Univision Records, with one of the most respected mexican producers Manuel Cazares. Who has worked with and made almost all the the hit records of Pepe Aguilar, Pablo Montero, and Juan Gabriel. I recorded the music video to my first single in Monterrey, Mexico. Lacking support from the company because the album was just a prize... no air play, no distrubution, no promotion. I left the label.
This year I wanted to sing different genres. I auditioned for Objetivo Fama (the latin equivalent to American Idol) in San Francisco. I was picked among 10,000 auditioners in the U.S.A. to join the top 26 in Puerto Rico. In Puerto Rico I was chosen to be part of the 20 stars to be in the show! Just to be discualified and not able to continue in the show because of my cd, I had recorded three years ago.... Boo! haha
Anyways, that's what leads me to now. Im looking for a new label and continue to perform everwhere. Take care and may God bless you always.
Hit me up for questions or wanting me to perform at your next event.
Con mucho carino su amigo,
Lorenzo MendezMessenger... [email protected]
