Legend Vega is scheduled to release her newest CD this summer,
Personal Space. Fans characterize Legend's style as a cross
between Mariah Carey and a female version of Ricky Martin. She
was born under the lights of Broadway in New York City but
raised to the beat of Salsa and Merengue on the hot sands of
Puerto Rico. Legend Vega is an experienced singer, songwriter,
and model. She has just finished recording her newest CD with
all of her own material. Her mainstream pop style and her Latin
background make her an excellent crossover artist for the U.S.
market. Her album features a broad mix of pop and R&B music
recorded in English but with many Latin influences.
Legend has sung in a variety of venues from Caribbean resorts to
outdoor festivals, and even on Broadway. She has performed with
famous artists such as Elton John as an opening act at the
Conquistador. On Broadway she performed as the lead vocalist in
"Tony and Tina"s Wedding" where she sang 32 songs nightly under
director Larry Pellegrini. She has also exhibited her vocal
skills as a duet partner and backup singer on various CDs for
other artists.
In addition to her talents on stage, she also enjoys writing
songs. She identifies themes, composes the lyrics, and develops
the melody for all of her works. She has also been very involved
in the arrangements of each of the songs on her new album. She
has completed a multitude of songs in a wide variety of styles
(Pop, Rock, Romantic Ballads, Salsa, etc.)
"What I really love about singing is being able to reach into
someone"s soul and touch their life in a special way. By writing
my own music, I feel that I can do this even better " it"s as if
I am having a very personal and intimate conversation with each
of my listeners." -- Legend
Legend has an energetic and alluring on-stage presence as a
dancer. She has performed concerts in styles ranging from
classical ballet to Brazilian samba. She has performed solo
dance shows and sang with artists such as world renowned flute
player Nestor Torrez.
"My real passion is singing. For me, dancing is just the way my
voice radiates its influence through my body. Dancing is a
natural extension of the sound of my music." -- Legend
In addition to her musical and dance talents, she also has the
physical look necessary for mainstream pop marketability. She is
an experienced and successful model. She has appeared in print
ads (perfume, hair, clothing, etc.), television commercials
(beer, hair, etc.) and live fashion shows (Victoria Secrets,
etc.). Although modeling is not her main focus, her style and
appearance is a plus to her on-stage audience appeal.
Legend has a bachelor"s degree in TV and film production, and
has also studied classical opera and composition at the
Conservatory of Puerto Rico. She has hosted a television series
about music topics (House of Rock) and produced a pilot for her
own music show (Latino Connection). She has also had small cameo
appearances in a variety of other television programs.
Her new album features a variety of pop songs. The music was
recorded in San Juan under the leadership of Grammy award
winner, Ramon Martinez. Legend co-arranged and co-produced most
of the songs with Joaquin Fernandez. The instrumentals feature
such well known musicians as Januse Bakun (bass player for Ricky
Martin and Mark Anthony), Reynaldo Torres (drummer for Luis
Fonsi), Rey Reyes (singer for Menudo), Joseph Fonseca, Aldo
Mata, and many others.
