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.
