Rocio Llamas was born on May 4 in East Los Angeles and began performing at the tender age of four, taking home prizes for her performance at the San Gabriel Elementary talent shows. She was raised in South Gate to parents from Zacatecas and Mexicali, Mexico who brought culture and music “el sabor de patria” into their home.
At the age of 17, Rocio became the lead vocalist of a band called Firme, who performed the music of Rocio Durcal, Los Bukis, Maricela, Selena, Sonora Dinamita and other artists Rocio had grown up listening and singing along to. The group’s popularity earned them opening spots for artists such as Ruben Ramos and Lupillo Rivera. They also performed for Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez from Orange County.
Her time with the group evolved into a solo career and in 2006 Rocio was introduced to producers, Javier Ceja, Leticia Ascencio and Jeeve Ducornet who, at that time, had a hit single titled “Nunca” on Machete/Universal. In December of that same year she embarked on her solo career which lead to the subsequent release of Un Verdadero Amor, whose title was chosen for her true love; music.
In addition to her magnificent vocal skills, Rocio has also received recognition as a musical theater actress, performing the roles of Anita in West Side Story, Sandy in Grease, Mina/Dracuala’s Bride in Dracula, Tatiana in Midsummer Night’s Dream, Adelaide in Guys and Dolls and Player in Berthe in Pippen. She was also part of a dance group that performed at the Greek Theater 2 years in a row.
Some of Rocio’s performances include, Fiesta Broadway, Los Angeles, a Cinco De Mayo Festival in Santa Barbara, Conejo Valley Days, Ventura County, the Strawberry Festival, Santa Maria and in Carson, California she opened up for the Chivas game at the Home Depot Center. She has also shared the stage with artists such as, Pilar Montenegro, “Flaco” Elizalde, and Patrulla 81.
The release of her first album Un Verdadero Amor (A True Love), cumbia rhythms mixed with a little pop, is both the culmination of a girlhood dream and the beginning of a new journey as a bona fide artist for the 23 year old East Los Angeles native.
