Alfonso Velez never formally realized he wanted to be a musician. "I've just always been one. I've been putting out records ... since I was 15."His second full-length solo album, THE WEATHER, will be released on DJ Boy Records in just a few weeks. Of his first, "Make It Plain," the editor of D.C.'s On Tap Magazine said:"One of the best CDs I've heard in a long time. ... seducing and refreshing. ... Velez could be one of those 'voices of a generation' types. ... a flawless, timely effort." From age 7 Alfonso studied classical guitar in Russia, where he lived prior to moving permanently to the U.S. He has also resided in Mexico, Puerto Rico and Argentina, his love of the arts nurtured in a family that counted Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo among friends. But his first love has always been American music. As he told online magazine DC1st: "When I was a kid my father played Scott Joplin Rags on the piano and I could always pick 'em up by ear. Folk and blues music is about feel and flavor. ... That feel is in my blood because I let it be."Orders prior to New Year's Eve of THE WEATHER will receive a limited edition signed copy.
