Puchi (pronounced 'poo-chee') is a talented vocalist, musician, producer, and arranger. His passion for his music compliments his sincere love for his savior, Jesus Christ and conviction to advance the Kingdom of God.

In 1997, Ralph Hernandez, joined Puchi and formed his band. Since formed, Puchi & his band has toured extensively in the United States and the Caribbean.
