- How did you first hear about WomensRadio Music Review?
- Word of Mouth
- How do you usually acquire reviews of your albums? Do you have to pay $$?
- I DON'T pay for reviews, I work hard...PERFORM, PERFORM, PERFORM, That's what I do to GENERATE A BUZZ!
You have to be out there in order to be seen & heard! I've been performing LIVE quite a bit, actually all of my life...as an actress, dancer, artist, poet, singer/songwriter!!!
I perform any chance I get!!! I especially LOVE performing for fundraisers, charity & benefits for many different causes...I'm an activist & very active in the community of helping others...I utilize my music to help others...
All of these things, combined with being me...I write songs about what I believe in...Create your buzz by putting yourself & your music out there! Believe in yourself..."If you build it, they will come"...(ALWAYS BE YOURSELF, that's what makes you unique & stand out)...Word of mouth is powerful in the music biz!
- About Me:
- Denise Vasquez is a professional Artist whose talents run the gamut from Illustration, Singing, playing guitar and acting to dancing, and writing (music, short plays, poetry). Denise is currently NOMINATED FOR 5 MAVRIC MUSIC AWARDS, TBA at the event on Feb 22nd, 2009! Denise is a Daisy Rock Guitars & Audix Microphones artist, and recently became a LUCAS FILM LICENSED ARTIST!!! Denise was influenced by art at a very early age by her mother who was an artist. They didn't have much, but music, art and the theater have always been a part of her life. Denise began singing from the time she could talk, dancing from the time she could walk, drawing from the moment she could hold a pencil, and writing from the time she could form a sentence!
Her first experience on stage was with "Mrs Dorothy's Dance Troupe" at Lincoln Center in New York City. In Junior High School, Denise performed at Avery Fisher Hall as a violinist with selected students from her class. High School is where Denise was introduced to drawing classes, and performing as an actress, which led to Denise enrolling at "The Lee Strasberg Theater Institute" and at "The Puerto Rican Traveling Theater Training Unit". Denise has performed in many Theatrical Productions in New York City, Improv Shows, Educational Films, Industrials, TV (Law & Order, SNL, MTV...), Feature Films (Carlitos Way, Jungle Fever...), as well as dancing in music videos (Kenny Chesney's "How Forever Feels). Denise left home at the age of 17 and has been traveling the world since! She's lived in Scotland, London, US Virgin Islands and now California! The Virgin Islands is where Denise began making her living as as illustrator. A woman stopped her on the street the day after she had arrived to inquire about the shirt she was wearing. Denise told the woman she painted the shirt which led to employment at "World View Graphics" where Denise would spend her days hand painting on clothing. Denise fell in love with drawing & painting on everything from clothing, glass bottles, mirrors, walls & windows...which led to many commissions with local business and private clients. On the side, Denise was also taking Playwriting classes & wrote her first One-Act "Sisterhood" which was performed at The "St John School Of The Arts" receiving rave reviews from the press. While living in the Virgin Islands, Denise was inspired to combine all of her talents to help bring the community together, share information, showcase talent & help donate proceeds to a cause...this led her to create WO+MEN 4 A CAUSE & was also the beginning of her music career as a singer/songwriter/guitarist & activist. Denise left the Virgin Islands and moved to Los Angeles in pursuit of a career in the arts. Denise has self-produced 3 albums, and is currently working on her 4th album which will feature her music & art! Over the years, Denise has designed & illustrated music posters, cd covers, logos, flyers, brochures and has sold many of her original artwork on canvas, glass and clothing. Denise is living her dreams! Since moving to California, Denise has accomplished a great deal: She is a FIVE time winner of the ASCAP PLUS performing songwriters Award, has been listed on Music Connection Magazines Hot 100 Unsigned Artist list for 6 consecutive years, has been Nominated by The LA Music Awards for Best Female Vocalist of the year in 2004 & Best Album Of The Year 2006. Denise proudly incorporates all of her experiences as an actress, dancer, singer, writer, painter, poet in her life as well as her art. Denise says "I am an artist who creates because it is a part of my being, my heart & my soul...
The people I've met on my path inspire me... nature inspires me... life inspires me... life is art... art is life... my art is everything that I am"!
