or type in 01angelmusic and it will bring up all my videos of songs but NO
DEBES JUGAR is our first official Music Video for ANGEL Y VIMANA we used Power
house media and Top flight Productions for this music Video, its took about 3-4
days to think of the ideas on the story line of the song I wrote and finding
the right people to play the parts, the songs is really a pretty song it’s a
love song about a guy me lol liking this girl who is my friend and I’m so sad
because im always seeing her get treated bad from her x boyfriend and I start
liking her and try to tell her I can treat her better but she decides to go back
to the xboyfriend you have to see the Video and see how it ends lol I know I
cut the story off in the middle but you can see it and tell me what you think
lol all in all it took 1 day too shoot the full video and a few days after for
the editing J, now we are about to
start working on our second Video SI TU QUIERES hopefully here in April of 2013
and we want to invite everyone to be in it will be posting updates on Facebook

you just want to dance you can also hear it on our web page if you have never

would you prefer to work in the studio or do more live performances?
Ag: Let’s
see what would I prefer to work in the studio or live performance I love doing
both I love recording in the studio but my passion is also performing in front
of the people to see them while im on stage and see them happy make me happy to
know that maybe one of my songs they were touched by it or could relate to what
I was going through when I wrote the song and getting to meet the fans and
supporters at the shows means a lot to me to get to meet them take pictures and

Thank you to everyone from TTMAsJ J
SC: do you
believe in vampires or ufo’s?
Ag: Do
I believe in vampires or Ufos :ummmmmmm UFOS J
Sc; how
difficult is it to travel now a day’s con the economic the way it is ( gas,
meals, lodging)?
Ag: Was
it hard finding a recording Company to sign us,,, well to be honest we have
been approached by a few record labels but currently we are staying independent
until we find the Right record label that we know will be a long working
relationship J
SC; was it
hard finding a recording company to sign you guys?
Ag; Your
question is how hard Is it Economically for gas and expenses the answer to that
is it Hard when you don’t have a Label paying for the expenses and promotions
and studio and ext… but its not impossible to do it with out a record label and
yes Its hard but when you enjoy what you are doing and you have passion for it
you learn to appreciate the little the you gain from it so much more and it
helps your remember to stay humble and down to earth with everything and
everyone If I could trade it all in for the easy road I wouldn’t I like the
fact that its hard times only because when we reach our goals its something
that means so much and you remember it wasn’t just you or your band that got
you to reach your goal it was everyone one the listeners then fans , the
supporters the Dj’s, the stations T.v Ext J
Sc; do you
prefer to play cumbias or more Tejano style music como polkas and so on?
Ag; Do
I prefer Cumbias or Tejano music Both lol I love singing both and when I write
my music I try to add the styles of the two in a song J but
I love the cumbias I love to see the people happy and dancing but when I want
to reach the hearts of the listeners I take the tejano style and slow the
cumbia down and make it into my own. J
SC; if you
had the chance to speak with a group of young people what would you tell them
about the music business?
Ag; If
I had the chance to speak out to the younger generation and kids id tell them
to stay in school its very important and to treat one another with respect and
kindness and to not allow bulling in schools, id also let them know to say no
to drugs and to follow there dreams in life Because anything is possible
whether they want to be a police officer or a singer or the next president
anything is possible if you work hard at it. Advice in the music business I
would tell them to play were ever they give them a chance to play and sing at
good practice is a must even if its at karaoke places if you’re a shy person
you wont be shy for long lol, but honestly to always remember when there
performing to always treat that performance whether it’s a big crowd or a small
crowd to treat it like it’s a crowd of thousands of people but most of all to
have fun while they do itJ . also to do there homework on when they
right music to register it and copy right it and to never be scared to ask for
help because the artist that are more experienced have so much knowledge to
learn from and experiences they have gone through that can help.
SC; has there ever been a time you wish you
hadn’t taken a gig?
Ag: Has
there ever been a time I wish I had never taken the Gig,,, NO I haven’t had a
bad experience yet but I’m hoping that if I do ever have one I learn from it
LOL J
Sc; and
finally sir what would you like to share with your fans from around the world?
Ag; Id like to tell all
the fans friend family that have been showing Angel y Vimana support thank you
