What's up everyone! So I know some of you are curious as to who I am, so I
took some time to let you all know a little more about me. I'm half
Dominican & half Cuban born in Santo Domingo my father is Cuban. Came to the
Beautiful M.I.A at the age of 7 & been here there & a little bit everywhere
ever since. Now when it comes to music I been singing my whole life, but
really started to focus on it hard when I was in 6th grade chorus after my
first chorus show which was when I realised the love I had for music and
from there on in I began taking vocal lessons, had private vocal coaches,
wanted to perfect my art every way possible. I am blessed to have come from
a very talented family my father being a Singer in Cuba & having writers &
artists as uncles also helped me in a major way develop my skills not only
as a singer but as a writer and painter as well. As I got older I slipped
more into the arts and gave my voice some time to develop threw puberty, and
myself more time to focus ..ing and art. At the age of 15 my girlfriend at
the time was a model for a well known modeling agency in Miami and suggested
I tried out. Initially I refused to but eventually she convinced me to be in
a local Fashion show. At the show there was a model scout that saw me and
was very interested in meeting with me for work. A week later I was signed
to my first modeling agency at the age of 15! Totally stoked now I began
going to castings doing shoots and before you knew it had done my first
International Commercial with Locomotion network, been in several fashions
shows for names like Guess?, Brooks Brothers & Adidas to name a few, had a
collection of shoots with some great photographers & was finally out of
school! It was at this time now after several years of modeling that I had
enough experience and material to try my luck out in New York City. My
Manager at the time set me up with several connections for once I arrived
which helped me start things off over there a bit faster. I moved to NYC
with two other friends/models and we stayed for about 4 months. During this
time I focused on rebuilding my new modeling book with some real good
photographers in NYC. Made some great contacts and friendships with people
like Willy Ninja a legend in his own rank, picked up a lot of experience and
knowledge on how the business works up there which is another world in its
own and before you knew it my 4 months were up and I returned to Miami this
time more focused then ever to work on my music! I continued to model once
in Miami for extra cash and eventually landed a meeting with a Local label
here. The night I auditioned I was in front of the C.E.O of the label as
well as two of his good friends that turned out being a Reporter for
Telemundo & La India the "Latin Songbird" singer! This just added to the
pressure yet when the time came to audition I nailed it thank god! La India
enjoyed the song I auditioned with to the point that it brought her to tears
stirring up her emotions with the powerful lyrics of the Spanish love ballad
I wrote and is yet to be released "Me Tienes". The C.E.O & reporter were
surprised at La India's reaction and commended me for it. It was one of the
best feelings in my life! I felt I finally had reached that door that was
going to let me set my foot in the right direction. Later that night we went
to Crobar down in South Beach and partied the night away! Unfortunately
after some time things with that Label didn't work as expected, so again I
continued to pursue my music while modeling on the side. Some time passed
and then one day I received a call from one of my best friends Jose Iorio
the Host of the hit show "Sin Ton Ni Son" on Televisa (for more info on Jose
Iorio refer to my top 8) informing me that he knew of a Spanish boy group
that was looking for a lead vocalist. I Jumped on the opportunity right away
and met with the guys the next day. Once meeting with the two members of
Ultimo Nivel it was undeniable that the chemistry between the 3 of us
Arturo, Romy & I was there. We decided to try things out and see how they
went. The Following week we flew to NYC to record our first single "Lagrimas
Calidads" a dancy Spanish Ballad typical to the Latin Pop tart phenomenon
that was going on at that time. Along with recording with some of the best
Latin Producers around that worked with names such as Marc Anthony, we also
were busy doing test shoots of the group together; it was a work, sleep,
record, shoot, sleep type of schedule I was finally beginning to get a taste
for what it was like! When finished recording we returned to Miami with the
single but unfortunately due to certain circumstances at the time the group
disbanded and the project was put in an abrupt stop. We are all still good
friends till this day. Shortly after leaving Ultimo Nivel I got offered to
be the Lead Singer of a Rock group that was at its beginning stages. I
thought this to be a great opportunity for me to switch styles and also be
able to grow together with other musicians that shared my passion for music
and the desire to share it with the world. After some months of working
together we were finishing some of the last touches in our First track
"Beautifully Injected" when the producer/guitarist decided that due to
personal life commitments he no longer would be able to give the time needed
for the group & once again after months of hard work and preparation I was
let down. This time I decided if I was going to do this I was going to do it
on my own my way. I began working with DJ Manny one day out of the blue when
he showed me a beat that went pretty well with lyrics I had wrote, a week
later we had my first Solo track "Mami" a hot mix of Reggeton with some good
old fashion Salsa! So I opened this profile so that I could share my music,
thoughts and life with all my friends, family and new people I meet along
the way. Love making new contacts and working together with people to bring
out the best that music has to offer in me! Nothing better to me in this
world then being able to share my music with the world and making someone
feel good threw it! So keep it Locked to my page for updates on all that is
DC, that's me! Donicu el Dominico/Cubano!
