Jo-L
The Pioneer of Sal-Fuzion - Salsa / Reggaeton
Born in New York city, to Puerto Rican parents, JO-L was raised in the Bronx, and in Luquillo, Puerto Rico. He began to sing at an early age of 4 years old at family gatherings. His eagerness for the art of the song was awakend in his childhood, when he would watch on television the performances of great entertainers like Tom Jones, Elvis Presley, and Michael Jackson. The power of the performances of these great entertainers with their amazing presence on stage was crucial for Jo-L in his development and musical formation. He had his first professional opportunity during a tour, when he opened the shows for groups like "New Kids on the Block", "Brenda K. Starr ", "Will to Power" and "the Commodores". He then ran with the same luck in the Latin market and had the opportunity to open shows for Domingo Quiñones, Millie Quesada, Frankie Negrón, and La India, with his own group "Night and Day". This provides the opportunity for him to acquire the experience that he needed as a performer. He was now ready to explore new artistic avenues. Jo-l then chose to leave the group and to experiment as a solo artist. Jo-l writes,arranges,composes and produces most of his material, In his first production as a solo artist entitled "Rompiendo Reglas"(Breaking Rules) Jo-L creates his own musical genre "Sal-Fuzion" which is a fusion of salsa, reggaeton, R&B and HipHop. With this production, Jo-L wishes to present a visual show as much as musical, where his public has the opportunity to see a show with choreography, dancers, outfits, D.J., lighting effects and a great orchestra. This way, Jo-L wishes to target the youth that normally does not listen to Latin music, to help expose Latin music to other countries and to the rest of the United States. The production team of this album includes Luis Columna, Luisito Quintero and Guianko Gomez, the vocal producer of Marc Anthony and composer of Charlie Cruz and Kevin Ceballo. Jo-L teamed up with veteran composer Manny Mercado to write the rest of the songs of the album, which promises to fulfill its musical objective.
