Bio

Moises Velasquez realized at a very young age that music was more than just a passion.  At age eight, he started his classical music training in his home country, Venezuela. Music quickly became his most intimate companion, guide and creative outlet.  By age thirteen, he  was   writing his own songs and performing them locally. At fifteen he started playing with  various youth symphonic orchestras as a double bass player, while having a rock band on the side.

Knowing that music was  his true calling, at twenty five years old Moises moved to Los Angeles to start working on his first album as a song-writer which he named Correr, Cantar, Volar (To Run, To Sing, To Fly).

“For me, writing music is a great form of expression, I can say things singing that I might have a hard time saying in person” Moises explains. “Words that say what my brain wants to say, with some music that my soul wants to express, the perfect mix for communicating feelings and thoughts with other people”.

This album is a selection of songs composed between 2008 and 2014. It was primarily recorded, mixed and mastered in Moisés’ home studio in Los Angeles, CA, between September 2013 and March 2014. It contains 13 songs, all of them composed, produced and recorded by Moises and based on everyday circumstances that he lived during this time.

Music wise, this album combines Moises’ Latin roots with his rock music background, creating a Pop-Rock-Latin sound dominated by distorted guitars and Latin percussion. “I feel like the title, the sound, and the music all go really well together and represent exactly who I am.” Moises Says. “Positive vibes, positive thoughts and happiness; that’s what my lyrics talk about, that’s what my music reflects and that’s what I want to share; that’s what I want people to receive from me”.

Correr, Cantar, Volar is being release by UNO Productions, Inc, it will be available on November 22nd, 2014.  It will be released along with the video of what will be the second single off the album: “Ahora Me Siento Bien” (Now I feel good).
