While Puerto Rican producer-turned-recording artist Danny Fornaris has only released three singles to date that could potentially be placed on an album, each song is beautifully produced and introduces a new musical influence to listeners. I acknowledge that Danny began as a reggaeton producer and his vocals can be heard on underground tracks with artists such as LG and Auudi, but it wasn't until the release of "Estoy Enamorado," from Don Omar's Meet The Orphans compilation album, that I … [Read more...]

"Mi Mundo" ("My World") is the title single from Jeyro's upcoming 10-track album and is directed by Miami's … [Read more...]
