Eiza González

Toma media vuelta, y te quedas con tu tierra y en paz, una vida hoy espera, donde no tienes lugar. Esta carretera me libera poniendo a todo motor, puse lo que venga lo que sea, si no estás ya es mejor, con cada kilómetro va quedando atrás su vuella… by Eiza González

Last week, I had the pleasure to work with EMI Recording Artist/Mexican Actress, Eiza González. I was contracted by EMI to put together a group for Eiza’s presentation for Walmart’s Soundcheck Acceso Total. We performed four tracks from her upcoming release at Los Angeles’ famed Center Staging. The Director was Rik Reinholdtsen and the Producer was Fernando Soto, both great guys to work with on this lovely shoot.

Eiza González is a Mexican-born singer/acctress who starred in the melodrama Lola…Érase una vez, where she played Lola. Shortly after, she released an album in correlation with the show. Fast-forward to 2009 and Eiza has finished working on her first solo album titled, Contracorriente. The album is set to be released early 2010 through the EMI Latina Label. I’ve previewed the record and it sounds great. It’s jam-packed with pop/rock ditties and and ballads that are sure to please her fans and pick up more supporters along the way. Note: Eiza has also had a role in the films Esta Es Mi Familia and Vidas Al Máximo.

The songs that we performed: Mi Destino Soy Yo, Impredicible, Perdiendolo Todo, & Caminare. The performance can be streamed next month, by visiting http://soundcheck.walmart.com/acceso-total/eiza. The band is as follows: Drums – Danilo Arroyo, Bass – Jon Draper, Keys – Mick Utley, Backup Vocals – Julie Zorrilla, Guitar – Myself.
